Super Bowl winner Brock Osweiler announces retirement from NFL aged 28

The 2012 second-round pick spent seven seasons in the NFL and was best known for his time at Denver Broncos.

QUARTERBACK BROCK OSWEILER has retired from the NFL after seven seasons at the top level.

Osweiler, 28, was drafted by the Broncos with the 57th overall pick in the second round of the 2012 NFL Draft out of Arizona State.

He would go on to spend four years in Denver and help the Broncos win Super Bowl 50.

Before the 2016 season, Osweiler signed a four-year, $72 million contract with the Texans. His time in Houston lasted one season before getting traded to Cleveland and then he was released at the start of 2017. He returned to Denver on a one-year deal before spending the 2018 season with Miami. 

“I’m extremely grateful for the time I did receive playing in the National Football League,’’ Osweiler said (via KUSA). “The experiences I did have, people I did meet, relationships I did make – I’m not going to dwell on the things that didn’t happen in my career.”

    42 million in career earnings just shows what a gravy train being a below par NFL QB is. Fair play to him.

    @#JUSTICE4NOEL: I’m no expert but surly because there is only 1 QB on a team probably means he was in the top 80 QBs in the country? Which isn’t that crazy compared to top strikers

    @Lad: no usually at least 2 Qbs on a roster. He made most of his cash when he became a free agent off of his rookie deal but he failed stupendously when given that big deal. Most NFL back ups make between 3-8 million a year which is great money for not playing.
