Teaching guys the fine art of sitting on the beach.

Lol...he was such a waste of a roster spot.  Maybe if they had tried putting a competent QB in that role we wouldn't be up shit crick right now.

Isn't this exactly what many of the people who hated him thought he should be doing?

I thought Rick was a good GM here, but one of my two biggest gripes with him was exactly that. We never adequately filled the backup QB position with talent. The one year we did with Keenum it came in extremely handy (as we know). I think a lot of it had to do with the guaranteed money we gave Cousins and the heat that came with that, and he never wanted a situation where the backup came in, played well, and it created a controversy in turn making him look bad. So instead, we got a lot of Sean Mannion types manning the backup positions.

Well at least he won't be playing in a Vikings jersey again and the thought of him going into a game is gone.

Well if Slick Rick had initially signed Keenum for two years instead of one, Kirk might never have happened.  Of course miserable Mike Zimmer would have tantrumed just as hard about it regardless.

After MN he signed a two year contract to start in Denver but per his history struggled as the main guy. Bounced from Denver after one year. No one else considered him starting material again. In 6 seasons since MN he has bounced around to 5 different teams. Guys never been on the same team more than 2 seasons in a row. Yep, if only they had re-signed him we would have been set.
