Report: Texans, Brock Osweiler agree to 4-year, $72M deal

The Denver Broncos are in the market for a new quarterback.

Brock Osweiler is leaving the team after four seasons, agreeing to a deal in principle with the Houston Texans, according to NFL Network's Rand Getlin.

Osweiler is joining the Texans on a monster four-year contract worth $72 million, reports Adam Schefter of ESPN.

It was reported earlier Wednesday that the Broncos "ramped up" their efforts to retain Osweiler before free agency officially opened, but it appears they were unable to meet the offer he was able to land elsewhere.

"This is not a surprise. It was clear to John (Elway) last week that (Osweiler) didn't want to be here," a source told NFL Network's Jeff Darlington.

Elway "drew a line in the sand" on an offer in the mid-$16 million per year range with $30 million guaranteed, Darlington reports.

Osweiler saw the most extensive action of his career last season with seven starts. He posted a 5-2 record, completing 61.8 percent of his passes for 1,967 yards with 10 touchdowns and six interceptions.
