Redskins acquired QB Case Keenum and a 2020 seventh-round pick from the Broncos in exchange for a 2020 sixth-round pick.For his troubles, Keenum is getting a $500,000 "restructure bonus" on top of his $7 million salary. To facilitate a trade, the Broncos have agreed to pay half of that. Keenum has agreed to waive the non-guaranteed $10.5 million he had been owed. It is probably the best Keenum and the Broncos could have hoped for. As for the Redskins, Keenum is an improvement on Colt McCoy but not much else. It's a decidedly modest Alex Smith fallback plan. Keenum predictably crash landed last season after his magical 2017 with the Vikings. It is going to be a long year in Washington.

I would just like to add. In respect to it being a long year in Washington. The 2018 Broncos were a shell of their former glory. No longer the top defense that carried a crippled HOF'er to a final SB win. The defense slipped all the way down to #22 and Elway thinks Flacco is going to fix that?? It's going to be long out there too.
Good for a great guy to get paid, that's what I'm most happy about for him.
From a Redskins perspective: why? He's not a starter. He's a band-aid at best and how long is the band-aid going to cover the wound? The NFL is so incestuous.
