Was told last weekend, told again today, the #Texans have "significant interest" in Brock Osweiler

The Texans have cleared more than $40 million in cap room. They have built themselves a warchest to pursue just about anyone they want that hits the open market. There is a QB-sized hole in their salary cap.

Bill O'Brien was on ESPN the morning after the Super Bowl (Mike & Mike?) and emphatically hoped that Peyton Manning would not retire. With Manning still not announcing his intentions, O'Brien may be getting his wish.

Either Manning hits the open market and becomes a tutor to a likely first round draft pick, or Osweiler, no longer under the control of the Broncos following their tagging of Von Miller, hits free agency available to the highest bidder.
