March 10 Brock Osweiler was unloaded by the Houston Texans in a trade to the Cleveland Browns, but he's not long for Ohio.

Moving Osweiler, signed to a four-year, $73 million deal in free agency last March, saved the Texans $10 million against this year's salary cap. All indications are Osweiler will be traded or released by the Browns, who received a second-round pick in 2018 to make the deal.

The motivation for the Texans: clear salary cap space to make room for a new quarterback, presumably Tony Romo.

Osweiler's trade market could develop, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported on Thursday.
