NFL Rumors: Patriots to re-sign Brian Hoyer, backup offensive lineman

Mac Jones lost his longtime offensive coordinator this offseason, but he'll still have one stable presence in the New England Patriots' quarterback room.

The Patriots have agreed to terms with veteran quarterback Brian Hoyer in addition to offensive lineman James Ferentz, The Boston Globe's Jim McBride reported Monday morning.

Hoyer, back for his third consecutive year with New England, was Jones' backup in 2021 and served as a de facto coach for the rookie QB. The 36-year-old Hoyer has 13 years of NFL experience (seven with the Patriots) and was set to hit free agency Wednesday.
