Brian Hoyer went from a guy with some promise in Cleveland to a guy leading them to the postseason, which naturally means the team won’t keep him beyond this season.

The Cleveland Browns are in a position to make the playoffs this season, but that is all still up in the air as Week 14 prepares to kick off. At the moment, Cleveland is 7-5 and on the outside of the playoff picture looking in with one man to thank for all of that.

Brian Hoyer has what can only be described as the most thankless job in the NFL at the moment. Despite leading the hapless Browns into playoff contention, the Browns are looking to replace him with Johnny Mazniel at the first chance he gets.

According to Adam Schefter, unless by some miracle the Browns make the postseason — which is still possible — the Browns will be losing Hoyer to free agency.

You can’t blame Hoyer for wanting to bolt out of Cleveland, as there is no guarantee that they’ll re-sign him. It’s the reason the Browns are who they are, as the team has a winning quarterback they’re ready to get rid of in favor of an unproven rookie who may not even be cut out for the NFL.

Hoyer will be a huge name on the market this offseason, with Houston and Arizona being big targets. Cleveland shouldn’t get rid of a winner, but they’re hellbent on doing so.
