To top off the excitement, the Denver Broncos, the Super Bowl 50 champions, lost quarterback Brock Osweiler to the Houston Texans in a huge, $72 million deal.

“It was very difficult to leave Denver,” Osweiler said, as reported by the NFL. “I’d be lying if I said anything else. I had a tremendous four seasons in Denver.”

“Those are four years I will always hold close to my heart,” Osweiler added. “Coming to Houston was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up.”
