RSkinGM Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 What happens with him do you think ? Will he be here next year as the back up- Does he have any trade value ?. Scrappy game yesterday . He was fun to watch ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle28 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 His contract expires, so he can't be traded. As I said during the game in the gameday thread, if he wants to return, I’d have no problem with him being re-signed to be Haskins’ back up but it has to be made clear that this is Haskins’ team and Case is just the backup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I would imagine whoever is the new HC will bring in his own guy to be the backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSkinGM Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 Thanks Turtle - the contract . I though Denver had signed him for 3 years and then we traded after one. I thought he had a year left but I do see his contract was just one year here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it may have been a case where the Broncos paid some of his salary this year and we only paid half or something, like when we traded for Dashon Goldson w/ Tampa and they paid half of his salary to just unload him.

But I'd be surprised that they wouldn't want him around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladimir L Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 he is an expensive back up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he'll be 32 next year with not many teams interested. Let him walk if a team signs him for a lot of $ and pocket the comp pick. But if we can get him for under $5m AAV, that's not a bad thing to have given that Alex is not guaranteed to play again and you need a veteran QB as your backup 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offbyone Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I wouldn't make many decisions based on that game. Anyways, the next offensive coach and his system should determine the back up qb, keenum might not be a good fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we bring Keenum back he’ll be a backup and making what Thai said. $3.5 to $5 million for the next few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naptownskinsfan Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Keenum is on the expensive end of a backup. His recent history with the Vikings alone will get him a decent contract. He's in the Tyrod Taylor mold- not good enough to start for most teams, but if you have an injury prone starter or someone that needs to be pushed, he's the guy you bring in. I bet we find a cheaper backup somewhere along the line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet we find a cheaper backup somewhere along the line. I’d be willing to pay a bit of a premium for him, because of just what you describe. If a team has a starter go down with injury in camp, you’ve got to think they’d be willing to trade something of value for a guy like Keenum. He’s got a lot of playing experience in a lot of different systems, and his reputation for toughness and preparedness precedes him at this point. He’d be a great one-year fill-in for a team that loses a QB but still has high hopes. I’m a little surprised the Steelers didn’t decide to go that route, although I do know it’s tough to get a guy up to speed once the regular season is underway. They must have known that Rudolph wasn’t ready to compete for the playoffs, though maybe they were naively hoping he’d blossom. With a guy like Keenum instead of Rudolph/Hodges, they’re almost certainly resting up for Wild Card weekend right now instead of playing for the lives and watching the scoreboard. If we had to pay an extra $500k or even $1M to keep Keenum over other similar options, I’d do it. He’s a great backup, and there’s always the (admittedly unlikely) possibility that we might be able to find a really mutually beneficial trade to send him to a contender and get back a decent pick. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
