Process Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 $6M for a backup QB? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Keenum is a guy who can play and win some games, for reals. A 7th round pick is nothing. Good choice for a backup, good deal on the pick. However, he has a $8.43M cap hit, of which $7.1M is new cash that the Bills must cover. Unless part of his money is staying with Cleveland, I wonder how this is going to fit under the cap. (It's possible that Cleveland is covering the roster bonus, given the timing - or it's possible that it stays with Buffalo, not clear) https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cleveland-browns/case-keenum-10079/ Of note for those who don't remember, Keenum was the throwing arm at the other end of the "Minnesota Miracle" that defeated NO and sent the Vikes to the NFCCG vs. the Eagles in 2017. So he's comfortable throwing to Diggs! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't help but watch the throw and laugh at how spoiled we are with Josh. That's a throw Josh makes flat footed and Keenum had to step into it lol... Solid get for a 7th round pick... he's one of the best backups in the league. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 It means we had at least $6 million in cap space. My guess is an extension is coming. Would be nice to have backup locked up for a few years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real McClappy Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Solid BU QB move for us. 5-6mill is about right and no beef on my end, Beane filled another gap. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a solid backup for a few years instead of a one year rental and spread out the cap hit. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd put them all around the same category - although those two both have a REALLY good chance of starting or at least competing for a job with NYG or MIA respectively. I don't think you're getting Mariota or Winston for less? Winston is the starter in NO most likely. Brissett and Fitzpatrick are the only other two competent back up QBs. I think Fitzpatrick wants to start or go somewhere he may start. Keenum > Brissett 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) Keenum was arguably better than Baker last year. I'm not a fan of paying backup QBs over $4 million so hopefully we have some restructure or extension in place to lower that cap hit.

Hopefully we can restructure, but if not, I’d rather have a good backup and not need him, than need one and not have him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
