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.

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.

Maybe AZ didn't want to give up picks, skins could deal Case and our 4 for Rosen

Skins do not have a 4th round pick. You have 5 total draft picks this year. Rounds 1,2,3,5 & 7.

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.

We have nine picks (although you are correct about no fourth rounder): https://www.redskins.com/news/redski...-in-2019-draft

Also, as opposed to "flop for Fromm", I also think "tuck tail for Tua" is going to be a popular option.
