FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots have informed veteran quarterback Brian Hoyer of their intention to release him before the start of free agency on March 15, league sources confirmed to ESPN on Saturday.
The Patriots have starter Mac Jones and 2022 fourth-round pick Bailey Zappe at quarterback and will likely add at least one more signal-caller this offseason.
Hoyer started one game in 2022, a Week 4 overtime loss to the Green Bay Packers, after Jones had suffered a high ankle sprain the week before.
