Re: Case Keenum to the Skins
Quote:
What is everyones infatuation with twisting the Keenum trade into a deal for Rosen? In the highly unlikely event that Washington trade Keenum to AZ for Rosen, that means the Redskins would have made 3 major trades for the QB position in 2 years. That would have to be some kind of record. Looks to be that you've acquired Keenum on a 1 year rental and his cap number almost matches McCoy. Very low at $3.5m. You draft a QB in this draft, and because of the rookie salary pool working in your favor, you can afford to carry 3 QBs on the roster, absorb the cap hit of Alex Smith ($20m) and still have some working room to sign a free agent or two. 3m for Colt, 3.5m for Case and about 570k for a rookie. Add that to Alex Smiths hit, it totals to 27m wrapped up in the QB position. I do not think you could improve that. Rogers & Carr make that alone in one season. The other option is to 'flop from Fromm', who is predicted to be the 1st overall pick in the 2020 draft. |

Re: Case Keenum to the Skins
How is this even remotely a bad move? What is the down side? We swapped picks next year. We got him for nothing. All this is, is Mark Sanchez insurance so we aren't in chaos mode again.
This will not be our week 1 starter.

Re: Case Keenum to the Skins
We didn't give up any draft picks (we only gave up a late round difference in position next year) and we picked up a quarterback who is either going to be a serviceable starter or a quality backup. And, he is on a cheap, one year contract.
I don't think you can argue this is a "bad" deal. |

Re: Case Keenum to the Skins
If next years starter beats out Keenum and McCoy in open competition then we should have a descent QB Corp.. you could do a lot worse than those two as backups!

Re: Case Keenum to the Skins
If he plays well and earns a $15M year deal from some other team in 2020 he’ll bring a comp pick our way. Same goes for Colt actually. The Skins are smart to get guys affordably with at least some upside and let them play out their contract. It’s how you build up the comp picks. The Pats have been doing it for years.

Re: Case Keenum to the Skins
I really don't have a problem with Keenum. Colt simply can not be counted on to stay healthy. I just don't want either starting any games for us.

Re: Case Keenum to the Skins
I'm glad the Redskins didn't trade for Rosen...that would have meant giving up a higher draft pick....I'm okay with the trade for Keenum...Keenum will only account for 3.5 million dollars against the cap....in reviewing his career statistics and highlights he'll throw more touchdowns than interceptions for damn sure...the front office knows what they are doing...hopefully Brett Rypien will still be available in the 3rd round.

Re: Case Keenum to the Skins
This move just affirms my belief that you guys will take a QB early in this draft. Case Keenums role will be that of the old 'bridge' QB.

You are correct, a QB will be drafted or brought in. Case is 31 Years old

Re: Case Keenum to the Skins
Nobody thinks Rosen is a "sure thing". But his ceiling is a hell of a lot higher than journeymen like Colt or Case.
