The New England Patriots agreed to terms on two-year deal, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss and the Boston Globe’s Jim McBride. The financials of the deal have yet to be reported.
Hoyer rejoins the Patriots after serving as the team’s backup quarterback for the last two years, with a particularly successful stint as Mac Jones’ mentor in 2021. Hoyer served as a player-coach in the quarterback room as Jones entered his first season as an NFL starter. And while the Patriots may lose offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, the team seems to have made an effort to keep some of Jones’ other support systems intact.
New: The #Patriots have agreed to terms with QB Brian Hoyer and G/C James Ferentz, according to a league source. This comes a day after the club agreed with safety Devin McCourty (1 year, $9 million). https://t.co/Wzg7UjY5vT
