Brock Osweiler has agreed in principle to sign with the Houston Texans on a four-year, $72 million deal.

Osweiler started several games for the Denver Broncos when Peyton Manning was injured and he was controversially benched in favor of Manning for the playoffs.

Osweiler was a second round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft out of Arizona State by the Broncos.

The Texans have one of the NFL's best wide receivers in DeAndre Hopkins.

Osweiler was reportedly "very distant" during negotiations with the Broncos, showing them he preferred not to re-sign.
