Hoyer is slated to visit the Jets, ESPN.com reports.

Per the report, the Jets were interested in adding Hoyer last offseason, but after he signed with the Texans, the team went with Ryan Fitzpatrick instead. With Fitzpatrick and the Jets currently at a contract impasse, the team will revisit its interest in Hoyer, but we expect that luring back Fitzpatrick remains the team's preferred outcome.

Rodgers relayed Monday that he has no restrictions after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery earlier in the offseason, Michael Cohen of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. "I'm feeling really good right now," Rodgers added.

Mere cleanups, such as the one performed on his knee, generally don't have a long-lasting impact, and Rodgers' recovery appears to be no different. Monday marked the first day of the Packers' offseason program, which head coach Mike McCarthy noted in February would include Rodgers. Because the preceding came to fruition and Rodgers is feeling no ill effects from the procedure, he can now look forward to rebuilding his rapport with Jordy Nelson (knee), who was also able to participate Monday.

Keenum signed his first-round tender with the Rams on Monday, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports.

Keenum's deal will equate to about $3.6 million for this season, but with the Rams potentially drafting a quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick, it's unclear if Keenum's future remains in Los Angeles. With Nick Foles also on the Rams' roster after signing a two-year, $24.5 million deal last offseason, Keenum is a far more affordable trade option for potential suitors, though Los Angeles would probably rather get rid of Foles. Either way, it wouldn't surprise if one of the team's veteran signal-callers is dealt prior to training camp.

Hoyer has been released by the Texans, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

With the Texans having signed quarterback Brock Osweiler to a four-year, $72 million contract earlier this offseason, it's no surprise that Hoyer is moving on. He'll now look to catch on elsewhere, though it remains to be seen if Hoyer's next team signs him as clear backup, or presents him with an opportunity to compete for a starting job.

Dalton has returned to working with no restrictions with his throwing thumb.

Per the report, Dalton -- is "back to zipping the ball," which puts him on track to be ready for a full workload once the Bengals' off-season workouts commence. While the Bengals -- who have promoted quarterbacks coach Ken Zampese to offensive coordinator -- lost both Marvin Jones and Mohamed Sanu in free agency, they were able to add Brandon LaFell as an experienced complement to star wideout A.J. Green. Meanwhile, the team welcomes back a healthy Tyler Eifert at the tight end position and continues to roster pass-catching back Giovani Bernard.

Renner has signed with the Chargers.

Renner gives the Chargers some added QB depth, though at this stage he's not a lock to make the team's final roster, with Philip Rivers, Kellen Clemens and Brad Sorensen also in the mix at the position.

Winston has been working on improving multiple aspects of his game during the offseason, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The 2015 first-overall pick has reportedly been busy, working with a personal trainer this offseason, hitting the weight room at One Buc Place on a regular basis, and even getting in some self-directed resistance work on the facility's practice fields. Winston has also engaged in off-campus throwing sessions with receiver Mike Evans in an effort to improve the timing between the two, which was lacking on multiple occasions last season. New Bucs head coach Dirk Koetter will have plenty for his sophomore quarterback to work on once OTAs officially begin as well. "When we get him back in the building, we have a long list of things we want to work on, starting with the deep ball," Koetter said of Winston. "We need to be more consistent throwing and catching the deep ball." Despite Winston garnering Rookie of the Year honors and setting franchise rookie records with 4,024 yards passing and 22 touchdowns -- as well as the Bucs tying for the league lead with 139 plays of 20 yards or greater -- he often missed open receivers down the field throughout his rookie campaign.

Keenum will be the Rams' starting quarterback at the beginning of this season, according to general manager Les Snead, Conor Orr of NFL Network reports.

Keenum's vote of confidence from Snead comes after the Rams tendered him a first-round qualifying offer earlier this month, virtually ensuring he'll remain with the team this season. While Los Angeles will almost certainly add a quarterback through the draft, Keenum has now been tabbed by both Snead and head coach Jeff Fisher as the starter heading into the upcoming campaign, when the job will be his to lose.

Keenum was extended a first-round qualifying offer from the Rams, the Orange County Register reports.

Keenum was designated by coach Jeff Fisher as the Rams' starting quarterback heading into training camp, and by being extended a qualifying offer, Los Angeles can now match any offer Keenum receives from another team this offseason. Furthermore, even if Keenum signs elsewhere, the Rams would be granted that team's first-round pick in return. That makes Keenum a near certainty to be with the Rams this season, and although the team is widely expected to draft a quarterback as well, Los Angeles' starting job appears to be Keenum's to lose once camp rolls around.

Orlovsky re-signed with the Lions on Friday, James Jahnke of the Detroit Free Press reports.

The terms of the contract are not disclosed, but Orlovsky will remain in Detroit for at least another season. The 32-year-old has cemented himself as Matthew Stafford's backup, appearing in two games last season.
