After spending four years backing up Peyton Manning in Denver, Osweiler signed a four-year, $72 million contract with the Texans in March to become a full–time starter for the first time in his career.

Osweiler made the first seven starts of his career last season while Manning was injured, and posted a 5–2 quarterback record with 1,967 passing yards and 10 touchdowns for the season.
