Hoyer is unlikely to remain with the Texans, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports.

Analysis:

Hoyer was surprisingly decent for most of 2015 until he had a complete meltdown in a wild-card playoff loss to the Chiefs. There was some thought he might still get another season as the starter, but with Brock Osweiler now set to join the Texans on a reported four-year, $72 million contract, it's clear that Hoyer would only be returning as a backup in Houston. Although Hoyer's contract is quite reasonable for a solid No. 2 quarterback, the Texans apparently hope to find a trade partner.
