Brock Osweiler 'couldn't pass up' Texans opportunity

Brock Osweiler played a big role in the Denver??Broncos'??Super Bowl-winning 2015??season but sees a brighter future for himself with the Houston Texans.

Osweiler??started seven games in 2015 before being benched for Peyton Manning in the third quarter of the??Week 17 win over the San Diego Chargers and??forced to watch from the sidelines as Denver went on to clinch??a third Super Bowl title.

He was widely expected to re-sign with Denver and??succeed Manning as starter following the 39-year-old's retirement but instead signed a four-year $72million deal with $37m guaranteed with the Texans.

"I had a tremendous four seasons there in Denver and those are four years I'll always hold very close to my heart," Osweiler said arriving in Houston at??George Bush Intercontinental Airport.

"Coming to Houston was an opportunity that I couldn't pass up.

"What I see with this football team is something special. I believe this organisation is on the cusp of doing something great.

"That's something I want to be a part of. I'm very excited to be here and just get to work."
