The Broncos are interested in signing quarterback Brian Hoyer, but they’re not in a hurry to get it done.

That’s the word from General Manager John Elway, who said after meeting with Hoyer that they could get a deal done, but they don’t have anything lined up yet.

“We had a good visit but he’s got another trip lined up. It’s a possibility. He’s a good football player. We wanted to have him in, meet him and get to know him a little bit. But nothing to report there,” Elway said.

Elway said Hoyer, if signed, could compete with Mark Sanchez for the starting job.

“He brings competition,” He said. “We’re going to have someone compete with Mark and he’s one of the possibilities. He had a real good year in Houston last year, so he’s a guy who’s a real possibility with us.”

At the same time, Elway sounded like he’d be satisfied with heading into training camp with Sanchez as the Broncos’ starter.

“We’re happy with Mark,” Elway said. “Mark’s excited about being here. We’re excited about having him.”

At the moment, the only other quarterback on the roster behind Sanchez is Trevor Siemian, last year’s seventh-round pick. The Broncos will surely add at least one more quarterback before minicamps begin. But for now, Elway is biding his time, and not in a rush to sign Hoyer or anyone else.
