The NFL's investigation into the Cleveland Browns' alleged texting from the front office to the coaching staff may impact the free agency decision of Brian Hoyer.

"To read the stories and see what's going on, I'm just as interested as you guys are to see where that comes out," Hoyer said Saturday after making an appearance at the Home and Garden Show in Cleveland. "Especially because when you read it has to do with the quarterback situation and play calling. That's something that could affect how I feel about it.

"For me, I'm looking forward to see what comes out of that."

Hoyer is considering all options.

"And obviously, Cleveland has a big place in my heart," he said.
