Of course, prior to this year, he was still under his rookie contract. Since he was a 6th Round Draft Pick, his 4 year rookie contract rolled up to just under $3M total for his first four years in the league.

Then he signed his present deal which is a 1-year deal with the Colts for $3.5M.

If he signs another 1-year deal, I could see him signing something along the lines of $5.5M or so. Maybe a little less per year if the contract is for 2 years.

So either 1 year, $5.5M. Or 2 years, $10M.

That should place him in the Top 5 for backup QB contracts or get him really close to that range.

If we can re-sign him to something like that then we should definitely keep him. He's proven he can play well off the bench and keep the ship afloat for a few games, which we'll probably need to have w/ AR at QB and a good thing to have even if AR can stay healthy.

I agree, some of the backups in this league really do suck. Even some of the starters suck.

The Jets and Pats are prime examples.

Case Keenum is currently sitting on the bench for the Texans ...... his base salary for the 2024 season is $2.75 Million ...... if only the Texans were naive enough to trade him to the Colts this off-season without expecting too much in return.
