Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports that the Texans could make QB Brian Hoyer available for trade now that they’ve signed QB Brock Osweiler to a massive contract.

NFL sources tells Wilson that “several teams” would be interested in acquiring Hoyer should he become available.

If Houston trades or released Hoyer, could go with Tom Savage as the primary backup to Osweiler.

For what it’s worth, Jason La Canfora mentioned earlier that that a potential landing spot for Hoyer when/if he’s released by the Texans is the Steelers. La Canfora mentions that Hoyer left a very strong impression during his brief time in Pittsburgh.
