The Browns have agreed to a two-year deal with former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Brian Hoyer, a league source confirmed for the Beacon Journal. The Cardinals cut Hoyer on Monday. He will now enter the mix of quarterbacks with his hometown team as Brandon Weeden, 29, fights to retain his starting job and veteran Jason Campbell, 31, pushes. Hoyer’s arrival means third-string quarterback Thaddeus Lewis, 25, could be on his way out of Cleveland. Hoyer, a North Olmsted native and graduate of St. Ignatius High School in Cleveland, has been in the NFL for four seasons but has only one career start on his resume. Source: Akron Beacon Journal
