Case Keenum gives Redskins insurance; young QB still needed

The Washington Redskins solved part of their quarterback situation. And they did it by making an affordable move. But there are still questions that remain now that they also have Case Keenum along with Colt McCoy.

The Redskins traded for Keenum, a move that sounds big but really might be nothing more than them grabbing a backup for McCoy. It's a shrewd move considering it doesn't cost them much: $3.5 million in cap space, thanks to Denver paying the other half of his guaranteed money this year, and a sixth-round pick in 2020.
