Brock Osweiler signed a four-year, $72 million deal with the Texans in the 2016 offseason, but was benched in favor of Tom Savage in the team’s Week 15 matchup with Jacksonville. Osweiler had thrown 14 touchdowns to 16 interceptions. The Arizona State quarterback was owed $37 million in guaranteed money.  After one season in Houston, Osweiler was traded to the Cleveland Browns.
