Brian Hoyer News
Friday, March 8, 8:37 PM
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Raiders parted ways with quarterback Brian Hoyer. The journeyman signal-caller has bounced around the league over the year. He's appeared in 79 regular season games, tossing for 10,899 yards and 53 touchdowns (37 picks) off 59.3% passing. He hasn't done much in the last few seasons, and he finished the 2023-24 campaign by throwing for just 231 yards, along with two picks. At any rate, there could be a market for Hoyer, who has established himself as a quality backup during his career. But even if the 38-year-old finds a new team, that doesn't mean he'll draw attention from managers in fantasy drafts heading into the new season.

Tua Tagovailoa News
Thursday, March 5, 8:21 AM
The Miami Dolphins have been unable to find any takers in a trade for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and his contract, according to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports. One high-ranking team executive told Jones that he had considered taking on Tagavailoa, but only if Miami "would send a first-round pick to take on the freight of his contract." Jones writes that the odds have been overwhelmingly in favor of the Dolphins exercising Tagovailoa's 2026 option at some point after the start of the new league year and then releasing him as a post-June 1 designation, which will spread the $99 million dead-salary cap hit over two seasons and allow the former first-rounder to sign with another team on the veteran minimum. Because of Tua's history of playing poorly in bad weather, a warm-weather team or a team that plays in a dome makes the most sense. The 28-year-old's declining play over the last two years and history with head injuries mean he'll most likely be competing for a starting job in 2026 in a best-case scenario.
