You think Hoyer is worth giving 15 mill next year? My guess is if you offered him a three year 15 mill deal he'd take it....
Not sure that's how a transition tag works. The only thing is can they offer another one while Mack is signed to a transition contract??

If this isn't a situation to transition tag a guy then I don't know what is

Ok....here's a quick run down on how it would work...
#1) It would cost us about 13-15 mil per year, which is ridiculous for Hoyer....so Id say the trans tag is not an option
#2) There is no compensation for trans tag players....just franchise tag players...
#3) "IF" you trans tag someone and they sign elsewhere, then you lose the option to trans tag until that contract is up...(and if they sign with you, like Mack did, then you retain the right to tag again)
So...a trans tag on Hoyer would be a terrible mistake(if you ask me).....if we got him, he would be massively overpaid and if we didnt get him, then we'd lose the opportunity to trans tag better players in the future
Id call it a lose/lose situation....lets just make an offer and let him decide on his own....or not....
And, listening to Farmers Pressy, it's pretty clear he thinks the Browns and Hoyer have vastly differing opinions on his worth.....

We're not gonna transition tag Hoyer you silly duddys.

Sorry I didn't read all the responses here but let's face the music fellas. With all the Manziel drama it's easy to look back at Hoyer with big eyes like you do an ex-girlfriend. As I'm sure many of us have done, you go back to that person and realize why you broke it off in the first place. Manziel may be even worse, but Hoyer is a back-up level talent. Don't get wrong-I'm glad we brought him in and he showed the team how to actually win some games. But the team didn't just go to Manziel for no reason either.
The only way Hoyer signs here long-term is if he's told he's the starter which I don't blame him for at all. It's not gonna take 10+ million to get him cause no one is gonna pay him that. He's probably the best FA QB available though so people will be offering him some decent money.

I don't think any coach in good conscience could promise a quarterback he'll start no matter how he performs.

I mean I agree, I more meant he's be signing the contract knowing he's the guy going into the preseason. None of the training camp battle stuff we've come to love.

I just find it funny we call the only browns qb with a winning record in decades a backup qb. He's definitely a starter.
While hoyer may not be "elite" or "franchise" he's the best option we have and there's noone upcoming I see that is a better option.
I wish we had an elite or franchise qb but the fact is there are about 5 guys in the world who can claim that title.
If you can't protect the qb and/or run well, you're gonna have a bad time.
Manziel is a bust, has zero NFL skills, and is not a leader.
Shaw is undersized and may be built of the same stuff as hoyer. But that isn't such a bad thing.
Hoyer is our best option.

there was a qb on the cfl that last year was a stud up there. bring him in for a tryout. i think his contact might be up up there.
