WAS will take on most of his contract.

Elway is such an idiot. I can see Flacco injured by game 7.

Case Keenum won’t save the Redskins, but he gives them freedom to fill a thin roster

Case Keenum probably won’t save the Redskins. Then again, the Redskins likely aren’t expecting him to carry them to the NFC East title they thought they were going to win before Alex Smith was injured in November. He might not start at all this coming season.

As a one-year rental at $3.5 million, Keenum buys Washington time to find its quarterback of the future while giving management freedom to strengthen the team in free agency and via the draft.

“We need to upgrade our entire roster,” Coach Jay Gruden said at last week’s NFL scouting combine, after running through a list of holes that touched on nearly every position save for running back and defensive line.

While Gruden and others in the front office continue to say the team is close to making the playoffs, their actions say they consider themselves more than a player or two away from being a real postseason threat. Trading for Keenum may not excite the fans who continue to lose interest and he is not the face the Redskins can put on a ticket-selling campaign, but his presence allows them to spend efficiently in the next few weeks — if they choose to do so.

this actually seems like a smart move by the Foreskins ... especially since they have a lot of $$$ tied up with Alex Smith
