Case Keenum Intends To Sign With Broncos In Free Agency

The Denver Broncos search for a quarterback may have finally come to a close as Minnesota Vikings free agent Case Keenum is signing with Denver. Is Keenum's breakout year transferable to a new team, or was it a product of the scheme in Minnesota? Like Kirk Cousins' availability, that's almost unheard of in the NFL, a league that treats quarterbacks like the Florida Keys treat Manatees (Which means that coach Zimmer and Rick Spielman were the speedboat drivers?).

Former Broncos coach and current front office consultant Gary Kubiak coached Keenum when he was with the Texans.

The Vikings have no quarterbacks under contract for 2018 but have been linked with both Kirk Cousins of the Washington Redskins and Drew Brees, who has yet to be re-signed by the Saints. Unfortunately, it's not the one Broncos players, most notably Von Miller, have been working hard to recruit all offseason in Kirk Cousins. It was interesting to see Keenum make the first major wave of news during National Football League free agency and not strategically wait and see what Cousins does, which could have improved his asking price from a desperate team looking for a silver medal. Case Keenum has reportedly agreed to become the starting quarterback of the Denver Broncos.

Fenno reports Smith will plead guilty to the charge and accept one year of jail time along with three years of probation. But he never played up to that level and the Raiders have chose to cut him instead of paying him $8.5 million this year.

With a sparkling new stadium, stacked roster and head coaching stability, the Vikings jumped to the head of the line of potential suitors for Cousins. Denver would be more than happy with that kind of production this year. And if there's one position they need an upgrade at, it's under center. Denver also has the No. 5 overall pick in this year's NFL Draft but should be off the board for taking an early QB.

Keenum, 30, brings playoff experience, strong leadership, and lingering questions about whether last season was the start of a career renaissance or an aberration. Sure, you could say that the fact the Broncos took Keenum as the first QB move in free agency could or does mean that he's clearly highly coveted, but that's something that ignores the reality surrounding how he ended up there. The Vikings haven't had a quarterback play all 16 games in back-to-back seasons in most of our lifetimes.
