Raiders sign former Patriots QB Brian Hoyer to 2-year deal

The influx of former Patriots continues in Las Vegas. Including Josh McDaniels today signing his third former Patriots QB.

Tuesday the team signed veteran Brian Hoyer to a two-year deal.

The 15-year veteran spent the first three years of his NFL career in New England and four of the past five years.

In between, he spent time with the Browns, Texans, Bears, 49ers, and Colts. He has started a total of 40 games, though three of those games were in a Patriots uniform.

The last two starts at QB for the Raiders were by former Patriots QB Jarrett Stidham. And this offseason, the Raiders made former Patriots and 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo their top priority in free agency.

On top of that, they added former Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers in free agency

The offense stumbled last season in Las Vegas, in part because of difficulties with Derek Carr implementing McDaniels’s offense. Clearly he’s making sure he has plenty of QBs who know his offense on the team.
