2016 Houston Texans: This was one of the odder and more frustrating seasons in team history. The quest for the great franchise quarterback continued. The next candidate: free agent pick Brock Osweiler, he of tall stature and of effective back up QB play for the Super Bowl Champion Denver Broncos. A nice 4 year/$72 million contract brought him to Houston. Throw in major contracts for RB Lamar Miller and OG Jeff Allen, and the team was hoping to recreate its free agency success of 2011, only for the offense.
