|BlackJesus| Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Bengals would have never let this happen ... ouch. Brock Osweiler agrees in principle to $72M Texans dealBy Gregg RosenthalAround The NFL Editor Updated: March 9, 2016 at 03:45 p.m. By Gregg RosenthalThe defending Super Bowl champions need to start over at quarterback. Brock Osweiler is heading to Houston.In the most stunning news of free agency thus far, NFL Media's Rand Getlin reported that Brock Osweiler and the Houston Texans have agreed in principle to terms on a new contract, according to a source informed of the negotiations. The new deal is worth $72 million over four years, a source told NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport.A source told NFL Media's Albert Breer that the Broncos' final offer to Osweiler was in in excess of $16 million per season with $30 million in guarantees.The news will set the quarterback carousel spinning madly again. The Broncos suddenly only have Trevor Siemian as the only quarterback on the roster, although he won't be considered a serious contender to start in Week 1 for Denver. Osweiler, meanwhile, becomes the presumptive "franchise quarterback" for a playoff team in Houston that has struggled to find a starter for coach Bill O'Brien.NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Colin Kaepernick could be an option for the Denver Broncos if Osweiler moved on. At the time, we thought that information might have been used as leverage in negotiations with Osweiler. But we now know the Texans were deadly serious about completing a deal and the Broncos didn't pay Osweiler what he wanted.This much we know: Houston's scheduled trip to Denver suddenly looks like a candidate to be the first game of the NFL season.Around The NFL will have more on this story soon.http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000642792/article/brock-osweiler-agrees-in-principle-to-72m-texans-deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_B Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 BTW, we would never let the QB leave, but were likely about to lose 2 WRs with what I understand is a bad draft for WRs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 If we had 2 first round picks we could get 2 solid WRs in the first 2 rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Honestly, its probably good for Denver. Brock just wasn't that good. Go get Fitz and try and find a developmental guy like Connor Cook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanvilleBengal Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I'd take this deal. It's a bit surprising myself if that actually happened, but considering the absolute dearth of viable QBs out there (thank God we have Dalton--Take that all that want to thrash #14), that definitely could be a possibility, though probably a second and third would also let Denver get him. On the other hand, Dalton's coming off injury, and we know we may have something in McCarreon. Ideal would be to hold onto him for at least one more year, someone else that is QB thirsty (preferably with a pick that is 15 or higher) then would want him, and we get that teams pick at a prime position, as well as having our own first in the 20s like the last 5 years. Has been good for us for quite some time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_B Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Give us 31 for AJMac? I'd take this deal. I'd consider it, because it would likely give us two WRs to replace both our guys with, but then you need to find a competent backup too. But it's not likely to happen.

BlackBengal Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 The Bengals would be insane to trade AJ for the Broncos' crappy first round pick. That is way under his value.Compare AJ to Osweiler.AJ is 25 years old. Played in 7 games with a 97 passer rating. The Bengals were 4-3 in those games.Brock is also 25 years old. Played in 8 games with a 86 passer rating. Broncos were 5-3 in those games.\So based on this season, the two players are pretty close. Based on stats you would have to give it to AJ, but maybe scouts like Brock's upside more. Maybe not. I think they are pretty even.The Texans think that Osweiler is worth $18 million per year with a $37 million guaranteed. So what is AJ worth? Keep in mind that if you get AJ you don't have to pay him $18 million and you don't have to give him any guaranteed money. He would be the cheapest starting QB in the league for the next two years. If he flops, you move on and lost nothing but your draft picks. If Osweiler flops you just blew about $50 million.Given his age, impressive play and his contract AJ is easily worth two first round picks.

whodey1971 Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 I trust Elway to be able to evaluate a QB vs his worth. In his opinion, Osweiler was not worth this much money. Time will tell if he was right. I suspect he will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Osweiler stopped returning calls two weeks ago. I'm guessing he didn't care for getting benched for 18 at the end of the year. I'd hate to lose AJ because we learned how valuable it is to have a good backup, but he's leaving after his rookie deal. If they offer 31, you take it and sprint.

T-Dub Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Horse face obviously didn't think he was worth that much... Can't imagine anyone outside of Houston did, either. OTOH until the salary cap stabilizes this is going to happen every offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanvilleBengal Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Why didn't they franchise him?They've already used the franchise tag on Von Miller. Essentially it was either Miller or Brock Osweiller, and they chose Von. The also assumed that Brock would want to stay in Denver afterwards to be the QB, but seems like Denver lowballed the Brock with that 3 yr/$45 million offer. And as we saw, Houston offered him an average of $18 million. Seems like Elway and crew didn't value the Brock like the Texans did.Now Denver is like the 2000 Baltimore Ravens. Just won the Superbowl, and once again the starter left (Manning retired obviously), but also the backup went somewhere else. I think the Broncos are in a bit of shit now, and they are out of their collective minds if they truly think trading for Kapernick or getting RGIII would be the answer...

turningpoint Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 What No has seemed to have pointed out so far is that the Stealers have to play the texans next year and we have to play the broncos, this 1 move could literally swing the division more greatly in our favor next year.
