Cleveland Browns QB Brian Hoyer’s extension would be ‘a very difficult deal to do,’ according to Hoyer’s agent, Joe Linta. Linta added that they are open to talking with the team but are also content with waiting. It had previously been reported that the Browns are interested in extending Hoyer’s contract, which is in its final year.

Footballguys View: It won’t be easy because Hoyer’s value is difficult to gauge at this time. He’s looked decent in limited starting experience, but Hoyer is coming off the ACL injury that cut his season short last year. The team already made the move to acquire Johnny Manziel in the first round of the 2014 NFL draft, and he’s the quarterback of the future. The Browns have to pay Hoyer like a future backup and not a future starter.
