Man, I hope not. I didn't see anything out of Osweiler that merits a big contract. The only way I'd do it is if we can sign him to a deal that has an early and cheap escape clause if he doesn't work out. I'd rather target someone like Lamar Miller to solve the RB issue, possibly sign an OL or WR (maybe Rishard Mathews) and then sell the farm if need be to move up for a QB.
PFF listed Osweiler as one of their potential "Free Agents about to be Overpaid":
Quote:
6. Brock Osweiler, QB, Broncos
The thirst for a quarterback in the NFL today is real. The Redskins tagging Kirk Cousins is really all you need to know about the desperation teams feel. If Peyton Manning does indeed retire, the Broncos will be experiencing a similar squeeze. This could very well lead them to splurge on their former second-round pick, whom they have spent four years developing. Outside of the Patriots game though, Osweiler (71.3) has shown little indication that he’s a quarterback that should be starting in this league. His 26.7 deep-accuracy percentage was second-worst in the NFL.
