Report: About a half of dozen of teams including the Redskins are showing interest in Case Keenum

Deal is close, apparently. Keenum and a 7th for the Skins' 6th.

Really??? I’d have thought Denver could get a six-pack of Coronas or a bottle of Jack as well.....

Denver Broncos agree to trade sending Case Keenum to D.C.

Yahoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

It would be a big fit for the NFC East team, with Alex Smith’s future still in doubt after that gruesome leg injury he suffered late last season. Prayers to Alex Smith.

With this reported trade, the Denver Broncos would eat up $3.5 million dollars in dead money, as well as give Keenum his $500K bonus. But they would get $18 million of it back. This would be a huge, not to mention smart, move by John Elway. Not to mention it could change the tide of free agency for the Denver Broncos.

18 million more to spend that is huge, Now maybe we can sign Matt Paradise back and Turner

Also, we get there 2020 6th round .nothing this year.

Doesn't this mean we basically gave away Keenum? When you trade for a pick in the next year then it would usually be a round higher. Right? So we did this so they take Keenum's contract? Seems like Keenum for a 6th or 7th would have been a better deal.

Yeah, I think getting them to take on the salary is the big thing in this deal. Being able to use that cap space will help us out tremendously this off season.

Looks like this creates a $7 MM dead money hit instead of Denver having a $10 MM dead money hit for releasing Keenum.

If this guy is right it is 4 million

We gave them a 7th round pick this year we get their 6th round pick.We gain 18million to spend in FA. that is huge !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any word if the Broncos have any interest in Pierre Desir, Kareem Jackson, Landon Collins, Eric Weddle, Aaron Lynch, or Tim Jernigan?

I wonder if he’s forgetting about Keenum’s signing bonus. Denver would still have to count that against the 2019 cap as the signing bonus would be spread out over the two years of the contract. The bonus adds $3 MM in dead money.

 

[58crash]

He said that I belive . 18 salary $3.5 million dollars in dead money, as well as give Keenum his $500K bonus

That 3.5 and$500K bonus I guess is all bonus money

The first 3 yes. There are others they have more interest in at those positions. Amos and Juwan James seem to be the top guys they are going after. They also want Jimmy Smith when he gets cut by the Ravens. The CB just cut by Houston is another they have interest in.

 

[cdumler7]

CJ Mosley if he hits FA is on they would like. If not him it now sounds like KJ Wright could be a guy they pursue hard.

If we kept Keenum, he had a $21 MM cap hit: $18 MM salary and $3 MM in prorated signing bonus from 2018. If we released him, the hit was $10 MM, with $7 MM the guaranteed salary. If we traded him under the 2018 contract, we would have only a $3 MM cap hit, but the other team would have to agree to take on $18 MM in salary.

It looks like Keenum restructured to facilitate a trade that would not cost much against the receiving team’s cap while also providing us with more relief than simply releasing Keenum.

So the way I see it: Denver’s dead money = $3 MM in prorated bonus + $3.5 MM in assumed salary for 2019, and $500,000 in additional signing bonus for the restructure = $7 MM.

Unless I’m missing something.....

I'm seeing that Keenum got a $500K bonus for restructuring his contract.
