After Peyton Manning retired, the Denver Broncos’ quarterback position was left in a very sad state.
Even in Manning’s last year, the Broncos’ quarterback play was pretty bad.
The Broncos’ defense couldn’t keep up with the ineptitude of the offense as of 2017, and the Broncos decided enough was enough.
Case Keenum was signed and introduced as the team’s starting quarterback.
The Broncos made a big statement not only by signing Keenum for $18 million per season but also by passing on five quarterbacks selected in the top 32 picks of the 2018 NFL Draft.
