Osweiler signed with the Houston Texans during the 2016 offseason but was traded in March along with the club’s sixth-round pick this season and a second-round pick in 2018 in exchange for the Browns 2017 fourth-round compensatory pick.
The fifth-year quarterback started 14 games last season for the Texans before being benched in favor of backup Tom Savage, whom the team recently named its 2017 starter.
The previous season, Osweiler played a key role on the Broncos road to a Super Bowl 50 victory, starting seven games in relief of a sidelined Peyton Manning.
