Denver Broncos QB Brock Osweiler is expected to be the Broncos starting quarterback next season if they can sign him to an extension, even if QB Peyton Manning decides that Super Bowl 50 isn’t his final game. Broncos quarterbacks coach Greg Knapp said Monday, Feb. 1, that Osweiler has done everything to put himself in a position to start for Denver next year. President and general manager John Elway said he’s excited about Osweiler and is ‘hoping to get something done with Brock this offseason.’ Osweiler can become a free agent March 9.

Footballguys View: Earlier reports indicate that Osweiler is looking for around $12 million annually and a short-term deal. That number might be a little high, but the Broncos are one of the best teams when it comes to salary-cap gymnastics. They might be able to get something done with Osweiler before the start of the new league year.
