Once upon a time, QB Brock Osweiler was supposed to be the next franchise QB for the Denver Broncos after legend Peyton Manning retired. That fate never really happened after he and Manning helped the team win Super Bowl 50.
After four years in Denver, Osweiler bounced from team to team and never garnered much success. Ultimately, he wasn’t signed with any team entering this season. He is retiring at 28 after seven years in the league.
“I’m extremely grateful for the time I did receive playing in the National Football League,” Osweiler told reporter Mike Klis in a phone interview on Wednesday. “The experiences I did have, people I did meet, relationships I did make — I’m not going to dwell on the things that didn’t happen in my career.
“Being a kid from Kalispell, Montana, playing for the Denver Broncos, winning a Super Bowl, having the opportunity to sign a second contract — when you look back on it, I couldn’t be more appreciative. It was great.”
