Texans release Brian Hoyer, opens door for Jets, Broncos leverage

Well, this adds something else to the mix in the quarterback carousel.

The Houston Texans signed Brock Osweiler earlier this offseason, and in a move that is not entirely surprising, they have released Brian Hoyer. A team can never have too many serviceable quarterbacks, but I am guessing the Texans would prefer to try and develop Tom Savage behind Osweiler. Hoyer wasn't a particularly good quarterback for them, but he had his moments.

There is already interest, according to various reports. Jason LaCanfora tweeted that the Pittsburgh Steelers are an interested party. Aaron Wilson tweeted that as well, and also added the Jets to the mix.
