Releasing Brian Hoyer
The writing was on the wall for Hoyer when the Colts signed Philip Rivers. Sure, there was a chance he might stick around if they wound up trading Jacoby Brissett, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Releasing Hoyer was a move that had been waiting since he struggled against the Dolphins, leading to an embarrassing 16-12 loss. The contract situation for Hoyer is a bit interesting as the Colts are paying him $2 million due to offsets in the contract, but this was the right move with Rivers coming in.
