NFL trade rumors: Broncos to shop quarterback Case Keenum image

Case Keenum may not be in a Broncos uniform next season.

Denver is planning to shop the 30-year-old quarterback, according to a report from NFL Network. He'll either need to take a “massive” pay cut or be released if the team cannot find a deal for him, the report says. He’s guaranteed $7 million next season.

The Broncos reportedly acquired veteran signal-caller Joe Flacco from the Ravens on Wednesday.

Keenum had an up-and-down first season in Denver after he signed a two-year, $36 million deal with the team in March 2018. He threw for 3,890 yards with 18 touchdowns and 15 interceptions in 16 games.

The Broncos finished 2018 with a 6-10 record and missed the playoffs for a third straight season. They fired former coach Vance Joseph in late December and hired Vic Fangio to replace him.
