Texans, Hoyer Moving Toward Divorce

[nunusguy]

The Texans resigned quarterback Brandon Weeden today.
Weeden gives the Texans four QBs along with starter Brock Osweiler, Brian Hoyer and Tom Savage.
Hoyer is expected to be traded when the Texans can get the best deal possible.
The Texans claimed Weeden on waivers from Dallas last season, and he helped them win two games, including their first win in 14 tries at Indianapolis. Weeden's contributions helped the Texans finish 9-7 and win the AFC South.
Weeden threw for 305 yards and three touchdowns on 26-of-42 passing in two games, including one start at Tennessee.

Good deal, I like this and would seem to pave the way for releasing/trading
Hoyer but don't know what the price tag is for Weedon ?
This report seems reasonable and logical, but it is April 1st and never know ?

The way for Hoyer's release/trade was paved on January 9.

Weeden got a bad deal for him. Weeden gets paid only if he is on the 46 man roster.

Seems Hoyer will be traded at some point, and it also puts pressure on Savage to step up.

Quote:

Weeden's two-year, $4 million salary includes an $800,000 base salary in 2016 and a $450,000 roster bonus. He also receives $37,500 for every game he's on the 46-man roster. That's a maximum of $600,000 for the game-day roster bonuses and a $1.85 million total.

In 2017, Weeden gets a base salary of $1.55 million. He has the same game-day roster bonus and a maximum of $2.15 million in the second year of his contract.

Like the Weeden re-signing. Kinda wish we could've seen a little more of him last season..... Should be good insurance if the unthinkable happens (Oz and Savage both get injured). He deserves a statue outside NRG just for beating the Colts at Indy....

Just got a text update from 610am that Hoyer has been released.

Hoyer signed by Chicago yesterday. All the best to him. Good backup, team player. Didn't see details.
