The Facts:
The Cardinals' logjam at quarterback is loosening up. Just a few weeks after letting go of John Skelton, the team has decided to waive Hoyer, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Hoyer did a competent job starting for the Cardinals in Week 17 last year. That created some overheated speculation that Hoyer might be a factor on this year's restricted free-agent market. Rapoport also reported the Cardinals shopped Hoyer around to teams, but apparently there were no takers. According to NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal, the Browns might be a possible suitor; GM Michael Lombardi has said positive things about Hoyer in the past. The Steelers reportedly wanted to sign Hoyer earlier this offseason, but they since have picked up Bruce Gradkowski and drafted Landry Jones. Meanwhile, the Cardinals will enter camp with Carson Palmer, Drew Stanton and Ryan Lindley on the depth chart at quarterback.
