Case Keenum to the Skins

[REDSKINS4ever]

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.

Case Keenum and Alex Smith have very similar numbers from 2018:

Grade:
Keenum (70.0) Smith (70.2)

Yards per attempt:
Keenum (6.6) Smith (6.6)

Passer rating under pressure:
Keenum (52.2) Smith (52.0)

Passer rating when clean:
Keenum (94.9) Smith (98.2)

hoping we still can get rosen as long it,s not for our 1 round pick,plus they skins front office might be thinking that alex coming back next year considering all the money we owe him ,but i think that ship has sailed and his carreer is over even if he doesn,t have that surgery

Yes he is, once the deal is done the Cards trade Rosen to the Skins for Keenum who has a good connection with the Cards new coach .

Some say that sounds crazy but it's really not.

A) The Cards are taking Murray
B) They will need a solid backup (Keenum and KK know each other very well)
C) Case stated that he wants to play in AZ after Flacco was traded to Den
D) Rosen fits Jay's scheme very well
E) Having Case as a emergency back-up plan in case Rosen falls through is smart.

If the Cards wanted him they would have tried to get him. Keenum is here to stay I think, at least for this year. I think the Cards wanted to play things out with Rosen and the Skins couldn't wait.

You can't do that if you are the Cards, that would incline that Murray is for sure the #1 pick. They have to have leverage in a Rosen deal.

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.

Either way Rosen / Lock / Jones.

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

This is how you help Keenum:

With the 15th pick you trade down, get extra picks.

1st and 2nd rounds either you get a stud OG or WR, with the extra second rounder you get your young QB.

Rounds 3-7 nothing but D and TE, OLB, S, CB, MLB.

With drafting an OG, this line is going to be awesome with the exception of Moses who needs to get his shit together and protect Colt or Keenum whoever wins the QB competition.

I also like the Keenum trade. Keenum is a good stop gap and has playoff experience as he has been deep into the playoffs. That is a plus.
Rosen on the other hand has very little NFL experience and has a long way to way go. I am not sure why some think Rosen is a sure thing?

Nobody thinks Rosen is a "sure thing". But his ceiling is a hell of a lot higher than journeymen like Colt or Case.

[SFREDSKIN]

I think Redskins will draft any of the following in the first 3
Rounds, whoever is available:

Jones
Finley
Rypien
Auburn QB (forgot his name)

Help me understand how this makes sense? If the Cards wanted Keenum, why not just trade with Denver for him? Why use Washington as a middle man? Keenum is in the final year of his contract, so it is a one year deal regardless.

Why trade Rosen whose salary is strictly enforced by the rookie salary pool, to only absorb a veteran contract?

Keenums 2019 salary is $3.5m. Rosen is $570k.

Sorry, but a trade to Arizona by way of Washington does not add up.

Skins could still trade for Rosen, I don't think Keenum comes into play with a potential deal at all.
