As best as I can figure out, Osweiler was not sued for breach of contract. There is no indication he was forced to pay anything back. He may not have become the QB some thought he could/should have been, but he lived up to the terms of the deal and therefore earned every dime.
His career in the NFL was twice that of the average stay 7.5 years to 3.3.... to say he played that long is impressive.kemajic said:
If you have a problem with what his contract payed out, be mad at the Texans organization... They are the one whose job it is to evaluate and pay talent.
The only problem anyone has is your twisting how well Osweiler delivered on his contracts. We understand he gladly took the money; his value created was short. His career might have played out better had he finished his final year at ASU; he was young and not yet a polished college football QB and could have been much better prepared for the NFL.Cowboys84 said:

Did he show up for his job and work everyday? If so, then he earned his paycheck. If you want to question whether his employers overpaid him for his production the answer would be yes.

The length of his career had much more to do with teams couldn't afford to release him as opposed to his on field production.

Not progressive at all, more conservative if anything. The whole point is the concept of certainty in transactions, which allows the parties to a contract to reap the benefits of their bargain. It is a conservative maxim that people should be true to their word. The Texans agreed to $37 million in guaranteed money and apparently failed to bargain for compensation benchmarks tied to performance on the field. That’s not Osweiler’s fault. He did not perform at a high enough level to be a star or even carry his team, but he performed according to the terms of his contract and therefore earned every dime.kemajic said:

First, congrats to Kaden Huot. It’s great that you will join the Griz.
Second, I thought the Osweiler discussion was over. Your comment about “conservatives” being liars, as with the previous comment about a “progressive” mindset regarding what was “earned” by Osweiler, misses the point entirely. I was obviously and specifically talking about the law of contracts. And it is most clearly true that the common law of contracts protects the expectations (“keeping your word”) of the parties to the contract. This concept is conservative because it protects the orderly function of the existing capitalist economy (i.e., the status quo). It has nothing to with politics unless, of course, you meant to initiate a discussion about critical legal theory (which seems extremely unlikely). Osweiler apparently lived up to his word, meaning he did not breach the contract, therefore he earned every dime.
Finally, congrats to Kaden Huot. It’s great that you will join the Griz.
I know I'm late, but I am incredibly sorry for bringing up Brock Osweiler, holy shit. :lol:

It's spurned lover syndrome. The rejected never miss an opportunity to bash the person they can't get over. If Brock had an identical pro career but following playing as a Griz every basher here would be singing his praise. Can you imagine how devastating this is for Griz fans who barely recovered from the Leaf rejection when Brock strolled into their hopes and dreams?
