The Cleveland Browns and Brian Hoyer’s camp have discussed a contract extension for the QB who will battle Johnny Manziel for the starting job. But Hoyer’s agent says a deal is easier said than done.
Brian Hoyer contract extension will be ‘very difficult’
The Cleveland Browns want to sign QB Brian Hoyer to a contract extension. He’s in the final year of his deal.
Footballguys View: It’s a wise move for the Browns as Hoyer could begin the season as the starter, then give them a valuable veteran backup when Johnny Manziel takes over. Hoyer looked good for three games last year, but then he was lost for the season with a knee injury. They selected Johnny Manziel in the first round of the 2014 NFL draft to be their quarterback of the future. Hoyer is a hometown hero and former high school superstar in Cleveland, so Hoyer likely wants to stay with the Browns if the price is right.

Cleveland Browns TE Jordan Cameron has been impossible to cover during practices this offseason. Cameron has improved his footwork and explosion in the open field once he secures the grab.
Footballguys View: With a Josh Gordon (perhaps year-long) suspension lingering, the Browns need Cameron to come through in a bad way. He’s already a top-5 fantasy tight end because of his talent and opportunity. Cameron’s current ADP is TE4 (5.09) in 12-team PPR leagues.
