The Broncos notified free agent quarterback Brian Hoyer on Friday that they won’t be signing him, Mike Klis of News9 in Denver reported.

For now, anyway, the Broncos will go with Mark Sanchez as their No. 1 quarterback. First-round pick Paxton Lynch will work as a backup alongside Trevor Siemian, a seventh-round pick last year.

The Broncos traded up five spots in Thursday night’s first round to select Lynch. The report said Broncos general manager John Elway only wants three quarterbacks for the team’s offseason practices so all three can get reps.

Sanchez has not been a full-time starter since 2012. The Broncos acquired him in a trade in March.

Hoyer had visited the Broncos last week after being released by the Texans.
