Free agency has started and Alex Ferguson reflects on Brock Osweilers surprise move to the Houston Texans from the Denver Broncos. Air Force 1 Basse Noir . The official start to NFL free agency is one of the crazier times of the American sporting calendar, and 2016 was no different with news that the Houston Texans had signed former Denver Broncos quarterback Brock Osweiler in a four-year, $72m deal.Houston have also added running back Lamar Miller from Miami Dolphins in a four-year, $26m deal, and Alex Ferguson assesses the two moves... Brock Osweiler Brock Osweiler showed promising signs in his starting appearances for Denver Osweiler - who was a perennial back-up for Peyton Manning after being drafted in the second round from Arizona State in 2012 - finally got his chance in 2015, and had a 5-3 record for 1,967 yards, 10 TDs and six INTS. He had a 61.8% completion percentage and 86.4 passer rating. His passer rating was good to be ranked 25th among qualified quarterbacks in the NFL.But the 25-year-old showed good leadership signs, right until he went out with a right knee injury. He never started another game again, thanks to the return of Manning and the subsequent Super Bowl victory that came.The Texans needed a quarterback, and needed one badly after the string of disasters this season [we blame you Brian Hoyer, Ryan Mallett and Brandon Weeden], who were all given time to get the offense going - with a great weapon in DeAndre Hopkins - and simply couldnt. So they turned to their wallets and paid a kings ransom for Osweiler. The 25-year-old had served as understudy to the recently retired Peyton Manning You could definitely argue that Osweiler doesnt have the experience to command such a salary, but what he will bring is a good arm and a high ceiling - the NFL buzzword for potential. We cant wait to see how he hooks up with Hopkins.On Denvers side, Executive Vice President John Elway could well be furious after losing two quarterbacks within a week. He must have thought that Mannings retirement would mean a definite stay decision for Osweiler, but now they are looking for a quarterback. Tim Tebow?Another person whos not going to be too happy is NFL Draftee Christian Hackenberg, who was coached at Penn State by Houston head coach Bill OBrien. He was thought by many to be coming to Texas as a second-to-third round pick. Oh, and other NFL Draftees - and their agents - arent going to be too happy either.Lamar Miller Lamar Miller did not live up to his big reputation last season Lamar Miller was perhaps one of the most heralded running backs to start the 2015 season, with fantasy analysts believing strongly that the player was due for a breakout season, thanks to his great running skills as well as his ability to catch, too.And while his season wasnt a major failure, it certainly didnt hit drop any jaws. Miller ended the season with 872 yards and 8 TDs, and he had 397 receiving yards and 2 TDs. He only managed to have three 100 yard + days [his biggest was against Houston, where he went off for 175 and a touchdown as well as 61 yards receiving and another score], and only three more in the 50-99 yard range. Thats disappointing. Texans coach Bill OBrien will be hoping that Miller can make a big impact His receiving yards - which many thought would be a huge difference maker - really wasnt. He only had 397 receiving yards [good for eighth amongst NFL RBs] and two TDs. But he showed potential - and thats what OBrien will be looking for just in case Osweiler cant throw the ball downfield 50 times a game. You can expect dump-offs and slants to Miller to try and open it up.The problem for Miller is that hes got big shoes to fill - the Texans cut long-time RB Arian Foster and hes going to be expected to be a more-than-viable replacement.Where does this leave Miami? There are good RBs coming up the draft [like Ezekiel Elliott, Derrick Henry etc], so the Fins arent going to be lost without Miller. But it certainly doesnt help. And they seem to be focusing on their offense, anyway. Also See: Osweiler to join Texans Five key NFL free agents Air Force 1 Low Pas Cher . Its sharpness matched my mind.

The 28-year-old from Calgary matched his career best after missing just one shot in his two rounds of shooting in the mens 10-kilometre sprint competition. Smith finished in 23 minutes 15. PARIS -- Anyone who thinks Mario Balotelli is not committed to his new club Nice should watch a replay of Wednesdays 4-0 home win against Monaco, and listen to the fans chanting his name when he came off late in the second half after scoring twice.The Italian striker has scored four goals in two league games since joining on a free transfer after an unhappy spell in England with Liverpool.La-la-la-la-la-la-la, Su-per Ma-rio the Nice fans at the Allianz Riviera sang over and over when he was taken off 12 minutes from the end.As well as being involved in a physical altercation with Monaco defender Jemerson, squaring up to the Brazilian defender in the first half, he worked hard for his teammates. They have clearly taken to the controversial player once tipped for greatness after breaking into the Inter Milan side as a lightning-quick 17-year-old.He must keep going like this, hell get back to the highest level if he stays professional in every way, Nice coach Lucien Favre said. After many difficult years, the way he recovers (physically) is going to be decisive in getting back to the top. Step by step, we will help him.He was mobbed after both of his goals, the first an excellent solo effort, the second a clinical finish.So much for the Balotelli criticized for being lazy in training by former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers. Liverpools former stalwart defender Jamie Carragher openly mocked his move to Nice, saying on Twitter that even a free transfer was paying over the odds for Balotelli.Yet he has galvanized Nice, which sits top of the league, one point ahead of Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco.Ten days ago, Balotelli scored with a first-half penalty and with a late header in a 3-2 win against Marseille.His first goal was much more special this time.Midfielder Younes Belhanda picked him out in the 30th minute with a raking 40-meter pass across the field to where Balotelli was making a surging run down the right.He controlled it on his thigh, knocked it into his stride with the next touch, surged away from Jemerson. He then drew goalkeeper Danijel Subasic toward him before slotting the ball into the opposite corner.Midway through the second half, he latched onto a pass from defender Ricardo Pereira and calmly steered the ball past Subasic as if shooting in training.Cool finishing, for a player ridiculed for having scored only two league goals in the past two seaasons combined.

Captain Paul Baysse and forward Alassane Plea scored the other goals.Balotellis career has been punctuated by antics such as letting off fireworks at his home when he played for Manchester City.He still hopes to win his place back for Italy -- more than four years after scoring both in a 2-1 victory over Germany in the 2012 European Championship semifinals.---LYON 5, MONTPELLIER 1Lyon midfielder Corentin Tolisso had an argument with Montpellier goalkeper Geoffrey Jourdren at halftime and smashed a goal past him from 25 meters in the second half.Montpellier led early on through midfielder Morgan Sanson but crumbled after defender Morgan Poaty was red-carded for a lunge on Tolisso.As Tolisso was doing a halftime television interview, Jourdren butted in.Youre injured? he asked sarcastically as Tolisso was speaking. Show me your injury, then.Tolisso walked off toward the players tunnel, with Jourdren talking in his ear.Having scored a first-half header, Tolisso blasted a superb angled shot past Jourdren to put Lyon 4-1 up.Nabil Fekir also scored twice, his first Lyon goals since scoring a hat trick against Caen on Aug. 29 last year.Forward Maxwell Cornet completed the scoring.---RENNES 3, MARSEILLE 2After blowing a 2-1 lead away to Nice 10 days ago, the same happened again to Marseille.Poland forward Kamil Grosicki scored a penalty in the 86th minute for Rennes and midfielder Adrien Hunou netted the winner two minutes later.Striker Bafetimbi Gomis scored both goals for the visitors, taking his tally to four in six games since joining from Swansea.Striker Giovanni So had put Rennes ahead late in the first half.---METZ 0, BORDEAUX 3Bordeaux is up to fourth place thanks to an effective strike trio.Brazilian teenager Malcom, Gaetan Laborde and Swedens Isaac Kiese Thelin all netted.---OTHER ACTIONGuingamp moved up to sixth after forward Jimmy Briands penalty earned a 1-0 win against Lorient in the Brittany derby.
