Cousins was the top FA QB but the reality is, he has not proven himself to be a consistent winner. Keenum is no Manning but he's better than Siemian who turned the ball over way too much and Keenum already knows the Broncos offensive terminology.

Kase Keesum may have been the #2 FA quarterback available. That doesn't make him any good. Good quarterbacks aren't able to become free agents. They are franchise tagged and signed back to their original team, or else they are traded. Minnesota saw first hand what Keesum brought to the table and elected to let him walk. At best, Keesum is a poor man's Alex Smith. But most likely, he is a modest improvement over Trevor Semen at a much higher price.
