Denver was reportedly making a final push for Osweiler but it wasn’t enough to retain the 5th year quarterback.

The Broncos will continue searching for their next signal caller and could be interested in 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and former Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III.

With Brock Osweiler off to Houston, RGIII is on Broncos’ list of replacement quarterbacks, per source. Could be visiting Denver.

Per Troy Renck the Broncos were willing to go as high as $16 million but that was their ceiling.

I am told #Broncos offer was north of $16 million, $30 plus guaranteed.. Clear Brock wanted a fresh start.
