We just signed Hoyer- 3 yr 12 M, 9M Guaranteed

[Workhorse]

The Colts signed Brian Hoyer to a 3 year $12 million deal.

I like the signing, but man that looks like we are making him our backup instead of a 2 game guy.

I do like the fact that's a new Pats QB- the systems look very similar...

I agree. Like the signing but that's quite a bit of guaranteed cash. Think we may have gotten into a bit of a bidding war.

I see it as guaranteeing insurance in case Brissett flames out and Kelly stops taking his meds.

But Walker is on the practice squad. We’re not carrying 4 quarterbacks. Kelly looks like the odd man out to me.

Good. He's about the best competent backup the Colts could have got at this point in time.

Kelly cant be on the active roster. 2 game suspension. He may push someone off the PC when he returns

If I recall it right, we have an extra CB and an extra RB on the roster now.

I think you're right, and Hoyer's contract probably means we'll be keeping him at least 2 seasons. Hope we still hang onto Kelly unless he screws up again.

He is our backup, you don’t sign a guy like that if you want him for two games. It makes sense. He knows Jacoby, so they should work well together in the QB room.
