The money is an incredible achievement for a likable player who has gone through a lot in his career, as NFL Films documented in the Rams' underrated "All or Nothing" season. But it was very surprising to see the Broncos fully guarantee $7 million of Keenum's 2019 salary, along with his entire $18 million salary guaranteed for injury. The Broncos will be literally paying for this move for two years, and they could be figuratively paying for it longer, unless Broncos executive John Elway finally solves the team's offensive line and run-game issues. So much of the support that made Keenum money in Minnesota won't be traveling west with him.

it all comes down to the offensive line for Dungver. CK had a heckuva an o-line in front of him and better RBs. The only position group that Denver has on offense that is better than Minnesota is their WRs in Thomas and Sanders. It really comes down to fixing that o-line and finding a respectable TE. If those things don't happen CK will have quite a challenge IMHO and I really like Keenum. He is very gritty and smart and plays above his talent level consistently.
