In the days leading up to the start of the NFL’s legal tampering window (yeah right, tampering has been happening for a long time by now) teams are desperately trying to get bad contracts off the books and re-shape their rosters for 2019.
The Denver Broncos are doing so by making moves like the release of safety Darian Stewart, not picking up Brandon Marshall’s contract option, and now the trade of quarterback Case Keenum.
What seemed an impossibility a couple of months ago has now become the Broncos’ reality.
The Broncos were facing a cap hit of $21 million from Keenum in 2019.
