So, had anyone else completely forgotten all about Brian Hoyer up until his return on Monday night?
Apparently, Bill Belichick hadn’t written him off just yet, because he’s now back with the Patriots for at least another year.
Coming off of a 7-9 season, much of the discussion this offseason had centered around the quarterback position, with many wondering how New England would address it over the course of the offseason. With both Hoyer and Cam Newton as free agents, the biggest question would be what direction they would take, whether it would have meant a trade to acquire an existing QB or if they’d simply take a shot in the draft.
