Brock Osweiler signs with Miami Dolphins

Brock Osweiler is switching teams for the fourth time in two years.

The veteran quarterback has signed with the Miami Dolphins, reuniting with head coach Adam Gase, Osweiler's offensive coordinator in Denver from 2012 through 2014. 

Since winning five of seven starts as Peyton Manning's temporary replacement in 2015 with the Broncos, Osweiler has been an itinerant passer. He signed a four-year, $72 million deal to be the Houston Texans' starter in 2016 but was traded to Cleveland after that season in a salary dump. Unable to secure the Browns' starting job, Osweiler was released in the 2017 preseason and ultimately wound up back in Denver, where he started four games last year.

Osweiler now will likely serve as Ryan Tannehill's primary backup in Miami given Matt Moore and Jay Cutler are no longer on the roster.
