The NFL’s free agency kicked off this week, and Fortune has looked at some of the biggest deals from the last couple days.

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.”

Check out below for five of the largest to come out of the free agency deals in the last forty-eight hours with help from Sports Illustrated.
