Who's luckier than Brock Osweiler? The Denver Broncos. The only thing better than getting paid to do nothing is being the organization that almost wrote those checks.

Is a second round draft pick really worth $16m? It seems like you could pick up some solid free agents for a lot less but with over $60m in cap space do the Browns even care about winning?

He just got re-signed by the Broncos to be their backup to Siemian. At the veteran minimum of $775K, the Browns are on the hook for the rest of the $17M.

Damn. He's still playing and making $$$.

I thought Sloter had shown the ability to be the backup until Lynch came back.

He's "Premium Crappy"

That is hilarious.

As the the Q in the subject line, I'm not sure. Seems that Osweiler might even be luckier than Bobby Bonilla.

Slower was playing against 3rd strings and was just keeping up with them. Playing against first strings he would have got annihilated. Not that he couldn't play that speed in the future but he's definitely not there right now.

If they're still looking, I hear Kaepernick is still available. Best quarterback in the league . . . or so I hear.

Dang, thought this would be the obvious first post. Congrats.

x2 for Bobby Bonilla

don't be silly. heck, osweiler throws almost as many TDs as he does INTs. osweiler is clearly better than kap. ask any owner.

He's played in Mike McCoys system before so he'll be ready day one. He was brought in as a back up QB, and he fits into the pocket passer system that's in place. He's getting paid league minimum by the Broncos. So...racism!

he's ready on day-one to do what?

just fyi, you ought to look at the percentage of passes kaepernick threw while in the pocket last year. there is a silly notion in the league that if you are mobile, and if you have speed, and if you can run, that means you're not capable of playing in a system designed for immobile quarterbacks. it took the league one year to figure out kap's "mobility", and he's been a pocket QB ever since. he's actually a better pocket passer than he is a rollout passer. his problem last year was the same problem gabbert had last year: no protection, no receivers.

his passing stats are better than half the existing backups and a quarter of the existing starters. and they're certainly better than osweiler's, who is "ready on day-one" to manufacture INTs.

where i do agree with you is this: osweiler came at the right price.

To fill in the starting QB goes down. He has previously played for this offensive coordinator in this system so if Trevor Siemian were to get hurt, which he does a lot, he would be ready to fill in. I don't think anyone believes Brock is anything more than a back up. Rumor was Baltimore offered Kap a back up job and turned it down.

As soon as the Clowns picked up Osweiler it was assumed they were merely buying a second round pick.

Apparently we have about 2x the number of picks in next year;s draft as compared to most teams.

I hope Joe Thomas can hang on long enough for this to pay off.

I think we are finally starting to make better picks.
