If Hoyer's smart, he should probably take the deal. I'm assuming that it's more money than he's ever made due to his less than spectacular career and what if he gets injured while rolling the dice to see if he's the starter and should get starter money? Then he's really screwed. Big gamble on his part. Especially coming off of knee surgery.
As normal folk sometimes we cannot imagine turning down a mult-year deal for the money he will get even if it is not much by NFL standards. I feel he, or shall I say his agent, will not take a deal and gamble on playing, playing well and getting a bigger deal.
Problem with the incentive part, in this case, is how much of a legit chance is he going to get? The first bad pass, INT, and loss is going to have the city calling for Manzbieb and at some point they will make him the starter.
Agree with whomever stated before that signing him also makes him easier to trade.
