Report: Denver Broncos brass dines with Brian Hoyer
According to fan reports confirmed by Mike Klis, the Denver Broncos and front office brass had dinner with QB Brian Hoyer on Wednesday night…
It appears as though the Denver Broncos are not done flirting with veteran quarterbacks as the 2016 NFL Draft approaches quickly…
Brian Hoyer apparently flew straight to Denver following his visit with the New York Jets on Wednesday, and was spotted having dinner at a local steakhouse with ‘Broncos brass’ which likely means John Elway, Gary Kubiak, maybe some other pieces of the front office.
Adam Schefter, former Denver insider and current NFL insider for ESPN, spoke to 104.3 The Fan in Denver on Wednesday and he thinks that the Broncos and Hoyer have a ‘pretty good’ chance of striking a deal as early as Thursday.
“The Jets thought there was a reasonable chance they would get a deal done. Brian Hoyer, when he looked at the options, decided that he wanted to visit Denver before doing anything with the Jets. That would tell you that he’s definitely interested in playing with Gary Kubiak and the Denver Broncos. He’s seeing what’s happening with Denver before doing anything with the Jets.”
“I think it’s pretty good. He clearly had an interest in coming to Denver before doing anything with New York and Denver was fairly aggressive in bringing him there.”
Yowza.
If Hoyer signs with the Broncos, my personal opinion is that it means Denver is guaranteed to take a QB within the first three rounds. Having Hoyer around would give them a security blanket for Sanchez, especially considering Trevor Siemian is still at least a year away.

The Broncos would then use a top 100 pick on QB to solidify a decent plan for beyond 2016, as Sanchez’s contract expires after this year and you can’t imagine Hoyer would sign for more than a one-year deal.
Having a cost-effective plan at QB is not the worst idea for the Broncos, who seem to be taking a very relaxed approach at QB. This is a team and coaching staff that (rightly) believes in its system to produce quality on the field. Where Peyton Manning lacked physically last season to execute things that are paramount to this offense, even the likes of Brian Hoyer and Mark Sanchez can’t screw it up.
Or can they?
I guess we will probably find out…
