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.
