Signing(s): Brock Osweiler and Lamar Miller to Houston

[Voight]

You get one Franchise tag a year and that had to go to Von Miller.

Elway's been pretty cold blooded about letting guys leave (Orlando Franklin was a surprise last year) and comp picks are obviously part of his calculation. The projection this year is a 3rd, 4th and 6th. Next season the projection is two 3rds, and a 5th so far.

They could have signed Miller beforehand, then franchised Osweiler.

Not the easiest thing to do given the post Super Bowl time frame and you're talking over $40 million on two players then, which means even more loses.

 

[Dominator13]

I still can't believe the contract he was given. He'll make Scott Mitchell look like a bargain.

Brock Osweiler:

Mystery QB:

Osweiler signed a big free agent contract. Mystery QB was cut.

[spoil]Mystery QB is Austin Davis[/spoil]

 

[Voight]

Osweiler has a lot more potential than mystery QB.

 

[What the Faulk]

I don't necessarily disagree, I'm just saying he hasn't really done anything yet.

 

[Voight]

To be fair he didn't have a chance until this year, playing behind one of the best ever/best in the league. he only got that chance because of chance.

 

[Hasbro]

DeMarcus Ware renegotiated his contract, which is a relief.

 

[Dominator13]

Poor Osweiler wanted to leave because he was benched to Peyton ****ing Manning's last season.

He's an absolute joke. I'm so glad it's a division rival that's stuck with that clown.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Its funny because the Texans still have the worst QB in the division.

 

[Hasbro]

My chick is a Penn State fan and convinced O'Brien is a genius.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

A genius at what? Because they used 4 QBs and it worked until it didn't? I assume he will be fired this or next year. I suspect they'll be quite bad this year.

Why? They only got better.

How if I may ask!

Osweiler has played a mere 7 games. Tyrod Taylor actually has "more experience" so does Kirk Cousins. Not exactly guys where I've seen enough to invest in and I've seen far less of Osweiler. Even less likely.

Let's not forget he only actually started 15 games over 3 years in College.

Rest of the team is still there, Hopkins is better and they did pretty good with 4 different QBs last year.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Houston will probably be a 9-7 or 8-8 team again.

Their D carried them. They'll probably have to do it again I'd think.

I disagree, their offence is much improved.

 

[What the Faulk]

Yeah, I mean a division champion, however bad, just added a starting QB and RB (probably top 15 at that). Their run game at least is instantly improved because Blue and company just weren't getting it done. Hoyer (whom they're not getting rid of) was below average at best for most of the season, and Brock was at least average in his starts.

The AFC South is going to be a very interesting race next year.

Not as high on Osweiler as some of you.

You have to wonder why Denver didn't put up more of a fight to keep him.

NFL contracts are not guaranteed though and most of the money the players really don't see often. Its not like Brock had leverage to get a lot of guaranteed money.

Except...he did, because he got it.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

This notion that we didn't put up a fight to keep Brock is ridiculous. And wrong. $16 per and $50ish million guaranteed isn't a fight?

Not our fault he and his agent acted like ******** *****es and cut off communication after that offer.
