Bill O'Brien and Rick Smith are reaching with Osweiler, IMO. It would have been one thing had they done a Dalton/Kaepernick deal for $12 million and "escape clauses" but $18 million is ludicrous for a guy with mediocre stats, poor attitude when benched and seven starts in 4 years.
The Jets and Broncos can't have their cake and eat it, too. The going rate for starting NFL QB's in 2016 starts around $15 million, not $7 million.
If they don't want to pay that, good luck with players like Mark Sanchez.
