Pursuing Osweiler gives us a little indication that the team is not buying Tom Savage as a possible starter. Otherwise you make Savage battle a rookie QB in camp to start Week 1.
O'Brien refuses to let a rookie QB start if he can avoid it. If you forget the pains of the lack of production at the position over the past two years of journeymen, then I can see the argument that he already has a championship-caliber defense and just needs a game manager to keep the team at a playoff level.
Osweiler being under center when the Broncos beat the Patriots in the regular season is about to make him a lot of money from some team. That said, $15M/yr is below average still for a starting QB in the league.
