So Who Picks Up Brock?

[Duffman]

Very interesting, Elway didn't think Brock was worth 16 mil a year and wasn't going to pay it, now he doesn't have too. Now the Broncos get back a QB who no longer has a huge head and thinks he's worth anything.

Flush!

That's the sound of the Broncos 2017 season.

In other words, they get a cheap backup QB that has no confidence left.....

Well maybe he can go NBA. Fucker is 6'7".

The Broncos are certainly getting the last laugh over Houston and....somehwat....Cleveland.

Cleveland is getting the last laugh over Houston.

Houston is just looking like a team run by fucks with no clue.

Less than 18 months after Brock Osweiler spurned $16 million per year from the Broncos, he’s back. For a lot less. Per multiple reports, Osweiler will return to the Broncos. It likely will be a one-year, $775,000 deal. But he’ll stick make $16 million in 2017. The other $15.225 million will come from the Browns.

Exactly Manny.....Houston bought the hype and the success he had with the Broncos but forgot the D was their money.....
But dumping him on Cleveland was a good move, they took his 16 mil contract and Houston gave a 2nd round pick.....Hue is on his way down the pink slip trail once again....Why would you start a rookie at qb and send one packing that you have to pay 16 mil anyway...I'd make that sucker run back kicks, convert to TE, or towel boy but he'd be working for that money if I was HC or GM.....

Elway offered him a long term contract, do you remember what the amount was ? @cdumler7 would....
I thought it was in the neighborhood of 14 mil per but the guaranteed money was way less than Houston...

And if he stuck with Denver he would've at least done alright because he knew the system so Elway did want him but he refused to pay the ungodly amount Houston offered because he knew Brock wasn't worth it. And he was 100% right so now Brock is back for 800 grand and with no ego.

 

[Golden Spur]

Lol, that's crazy. Looks like Paxton Lynch is missing 5 weeks+. But I wonder if they're happy with him overall. This signing doesn't look good for PL, at first glance.

Watching him in preseason: No way in hell. They're starting Siemian over him in year two. That says a lot to me.

I agree, my point was that Elway did want him to stay and offered him a legitimate/reasonable contract but he chose to leave.....Did they sign him back on the cheap ?

About $800,000 so yes.

 

[Oldschool739]

About $800,000 so yes.

Good move, I don't think he is that bad and if Seimean or whatever his name is goes down, Os is probably a better option than the rook right now....Then again, Elway could cut him if he don't show some old fire....

 

[Oldschool739]

Good nite Gentlemen, Oldschool is retiring for the evening for a deep conversation with ZZZZZZZ's and Snores.....

 

[Manster7588]

If OS is saying Elway wanted him but got lucky Houston out bid him, I agree.

 

[cdumler7]

Elway did want Osweiler to a point. They didn't think he had shown enough to deserve a long-term contract so first offer was closer to the $10 million a year on a 2-year deal with only the 1st year guaranteed. When he saw the market go crazy after the signing of Bradford for $18 million a year Elway upped his offer to $14 million a year on a 4-year deal with only the first 2-years guaranteed. He made one final offer for $16 million a year on a 2-year deal but again was shot down. Then of course Houston paid big money for him.

Now I do think with the Bronocs this past year he would have had a better year than what he did in Houston. He knew the system and players so wouldn't have been the adjustment period and the pressure completely like he had in Houston.

Right now with the Broncos this move makes complete sense. Brock knows most of the players on the team still. He knows the organization as a whole. He has also worked with Mike McCoy (OC for the Broncos) before and is coming to Denver for less than $800,000 a year. Think about what some of the backups around the league are getting paid right now.

I think this is a good move for DEN and a great move for Osweiler...it's not his fault HOU's FO was silly, throwing crazy money at a guy with 7 NFL starts or something. Can't blame the Texans fans for expecting a finished product for that kind of money, but he was still developing and Elway offered him 2nd contract...still developing money.

He was never in the long range plans for CLE...he confidence might be a bit bruised and battered, but he's not damaged goods.

Brock will end up starting some games and I think he could even finish the yr as the starter.
