Brock Osweiler to sign with Broncos

Brock Osweiler

Brock Osweiler has come full circle.

Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot reports that the Denver Broncos are signing Osweiler.

The Browns released Osweiler on Friday after being unable to find a trade partner. He was beaten out for the starting job by DeShone Kizer. They owe him $16 million for the season.

NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport says the Broncos are expected to pay Osweiler the veteran minimum.

The Broncos initially drafted Osweiler in 2012 and even had him start a good portion of the 2015 season when they won the Super Bowl. He threw for 10 touchdowns and six interceptions that year, leading the Texans to sign him to a four-year, $72 million deal.

The Broncos wanted to bring Osweiler back after the 2015 season, but they were outbid by Houston. John Elway has always liked Brock, so it’s not a huge surprise they’re bringing him back. Getting him at such a bargain price compared to if they had signed him after the 2015 season is a great deal for them.

This move also suggests Denver is dissatisfied with Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch.
