Predicting the Ripple Effects of the Broncos' Trade for Joe Flacco

In news that should surprise absolutely no one, the Denver Broncos entered 2019 near the top of the list of NFL teams in need of a boost at quarterback.

The first season of Case Keenum's two-year, $36 million pact with Denver was a mess. The well-traveled passer regressed substantially relative to his 2017 breakout in Minnesota and the Broncos lost double-digit games for the second year in a row.

Speculation's been rampant that the second year of that deal would include Denver taking a quarterback with the 10th overall pick.

It now looks like what it won't include is Keenum.
