The agent for Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer said he is fine with waiting until after the season to negotiate a new deal for his client, according to The Plain Dealer. Agent Joe Linta said he hasn't spoken with the Browns since the spring.
"The ball is in their court," Linta said. "We're willing to wait until the end of the year to see how it plays out."
Hoyer, who will be a free agent after the season, is 6-2 as a starter with the Browns (including three starts in 2013) and leads the NFL with an average completion of 13.6 yards. He also has a 99.5 passer rating.
Linta added the contract situation won't be a distraction for Hoyer.
"Brian's heartbeat doesn't go above 50 (beats per minute) on the field or off it," Linta said. "He's been very calm about this."
