Case Keenum is be D.C.-bound. On Thursday, the Redskins and Broncos hammered out a trade to send the quarterback to Washington, as Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets.

The trade will send Keenum and a Broncos 2020 seventh-round pick to D.C. in exchange for a 2020 sixth-round pick, according to Mike Klis of 9News (on Twitter). Meanwhile, Keenum has agreed to rework his contract in order to facilitate the deal.

Keenum had the opportunity to earn $21MM in ’19 under the terms of his old contract, but the revised pact will give him $7.5MM in total. The Broncos will pay Keenum a $500K restructure bonus and contribute $3.5MM towards Keenum’s $7MM salary. Meanwhile, Washington will pay their $3.5MM half of the tab. Ultimately, the Broncos saved themselves a few million and the Redskins found an inexpensive veteran to compete with Colt McCoy for the starting gig.

Keenum, 31, joined the Broncos on a two-year, $36MM deal prior to the 2018 campaign. Unfortunately, his season with Denver did not go as planned as the Broncos slumped to a 6-10 mark. This offseason, he was squeezed out of his starting job when the Broncos acquired Joe Flacco from the Ravens.

Pretty solid move by the Redskins without putting themselves into cap hell over one position

Smart move by the Redskins but Keenum is not the QB or worth the money he is getting!

I hate the move for the Redskins ... unless they package Keenum and a pick or two to the Cardinals for Josh Rosen, which has been reported as a possibility ... if the Skins don't get Rosen and just ride with Keenum, they'll likely just be a 6-10 to 8-8 team and irrelevant as usual ... sad state of affairs for Skins fans.

Redskins management isn't smart enough to pull off something like that. Rosen isn't the shiny new draft pick toy nor is he an established veteran on the wrong side of his prime. I very much want the dark horse of the Patriots to nab Rosen and watch him bloom into a franchise QB.

That would be an amazing turn of events for Rosen ... I feel bad for the kid as he was drafted into a terrible situation and is now being thrown away apparently ... he has ridiculous arm talent and could thrive with a play-caller like McDaniels and in the Patriots system ...
