Brian Hoyer might be the other piece to Jets’ quarterback puzzle
NY Post
Now that the Jets are locked in on drafting their new, young starting quarterback, they are trying to figure out who his veteran backup will be.
Brian Hoyer, who has played for seven teams over 12 seasons, is visiting the Jets on Thursday, according to a source. Hoyer, 35, played for the Patriots last season, starting one game. Hoyer has familiarity with the Jets’ new offense. He played for the Browns in 2014 when Kyle Shanahan was the offensive coordinator and Jets offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur was an intern. He also started six games for the 2017 49ers with Shanahan as the head coach and LaFleur as the passing game coordinator. Jets coach Robert Saleh was the defensive coordinator of the 49ers and saw Hoyer up close. Hoyer went 0-6 in that season in San Francisco before Jimmy Garoppolo took over.
