Flacco To The Donkeys

Interesting...Makes sense at face value. 

Thinking that he serves as a stopgap...Elway is drooling over a QB in the draft...

I love Case Keenum... but it does not appear that Denver thinks he is the answer there.  It would appear that our coaches made the right decision to go in a different direction.

Wow...means they're giving up on Case Keenum, at least as a starter. It also means they're probably drafting a QB at 10. No secret they love Drew Lock. I think it also means that after Elway tried listening to others about QBs (namely Kubiak), he's going back to his guns so to speak: big, strong armed QBs in his own image. Paxton Lynch, Brock Osweiler. 

It's going to be awhile before the details are released...wonder if Case needs a moving company...

Case one and done....at least he got paid. Keenum was 100% maxed out with the Vikings his one year of glory and the Vikings knew he'd never repeat it. Elway makes poor decisions, but at least he doesn't sit and stew about it once he realizes he messed up.

Looks like a mid round pick...

I don't know; Elway signed Manning when he was 36, and Flacco just turned 34, so Elway might think he can contend for the next 2-3 years. It doesn't seem like Elway and Vic Fangio would be eager to start a rebuild around a rookie QB. It will be interesting to see.

My crystal balls sees Murray a Bronco...

Sure would like Case very muchly over Semian...very muchly....unless we’ve got Sloter at #2 now

I can see Keenum as a Giant and reuniting with Shurmur, and Eli has a hug signing bonus coming up that I doubt they want to pay

Will be interesting to see the Kubiak effect on the #2 spot. I do think Sloter has a legit shot at it this year.

I agree. There was some buzz last week that Kubiak may want to keep Siemian since he drafted him, likes him a lot and is apparently ultra smart. But Siemian would require a new contract and I'm not sure I see that happening, especially since Kubiak can get the same sort of thing from Sloter.

The Baltimore Ravens
agreed in principle to trade quarterback Joe Flacco to the Denver
Broncos, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Wednesday.
Flacco,
34, was the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII in 2013 and was the Ravens' starter
since 2008 until a hip injury in 2018 sent Flacco to the sidelines
after Week 9. Rookie first-round pick Lamar Jackson took over for Flacco
and didn't relinquish the starting role.
Teams
are prohibited from commenting on the trade or the terms until it is
officially processed when the new NFL league year begins March 13. Ian
Rapoport of the NFL Network reported that Denver will send a mid-round
draft pick to the Ravens.
Baltimore went 4-5 with Flacco as the starter last season. Jackson led the Ravens to a 6-1 record and the AFC North title.
Hip and back injuries were concerns for Flacco in recent seasons.

Flacco has spent all 11 of his NFL seasons with the Ravens, starting
all 163 of his games played. He has completed 61.7 percent of his passes
for 38,245 yards and 212 touchdowns. He was the 18th overall pick in
the 2008 NFL Draft. In March 2016, he
signed a three-year, $66.4 million contract extension that runs through
the 2021 season. That will need to be re-worked, according to Rapoport.
The Ravens must carry Flacco's $26.5 million cap hit until June 1, per
the NFL Network.
Case Keenum, signed after
a stint with the Minnesota Vikings, started all 16 games last season in
his first year in Denver, which went 6-10.
Keenum,
who turns 31 on Sunday, completed 62.3 percent of his passes for 3,890
yards, with 18 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. He has one year
remaining on a two-year, $36 million contract, with $6.5 million of his
$18 million due for 2019 guaranteed if he is released.

Maybe it would be a new contract... with A LOT less money?

Poor Ravens fans. Teams will figure out how to stop LJ from running and so far he's all over the map accuracy-wise.
