The Denver Broncos are set to sign former Minnesota Vikings QB Case Keenum when the new league year opens Wednesday, and 9News' Mike Klis reports it'll be a two-year, $36 million deal.
For John Elway, who has repeatedly swung for the fences at the QB position with varying results, the Keenum signing feels like a double into the gap and a smart, calculated stroke.
The Broncos were expected to be all in on Kirk Cousins, but that field has quickly narrowed to the Vikings, New York Jets and perhaps Arizona Cardinals. And Keenum's total deal, assuming Klis' numbers are accurate, will only narrowly exceed Cousins' 2018 salary alone.
