Brian Hoyer’s time in New England has come to an end — again.
The Patriots plan to release the veteran quarterback by the time NFL Free agency starts on March 15, SiriusXM’s Adam Caplan reported Saturday morning. Hoyer, who’ll turn 38 next October, signed a two-year contract extension last March.
The move initially will create just under $300,000 in salary cap savings for New England. However, when all is said and done, Hoyer’s release likely will result in the Patriots losing some cap space.
Hoyer has enjoyed three stints in New England during his 14-year career, including spending the last three seasons as one of the Patriots’ backup quarterbacks.
