Wow Elway is ****ing dumb. Baltimore gets out of that deal scot free and the Broncos are stuck with arguably the worst QB in the league given his cap hit.

Specifics wise: Baltimore eats a 16 million dollar dead cap penalty this year but gets the rest of that monstrosity off their books. Denver will be paying upwards of 40 million for Flacco and Keenum assuming they don't find someone stupid to take that deal or just outright don't cut him.

I'm going to laugh if the Broncos had to give up any value.

What a lazy solution.

 

[Kel Varnson]

Denver are pretty dumb

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

Upgrading from Keenum to elite Joe Flacco will definitely make them a Super Bowl contender.

I...uh...what?

Denver, you dumb.

thanks for the SB title joe

that said, i'm surprised the ravens were able to actually get something in return for him

It’s really hard to fathom how Elway keeps missing on the QB position.

Apparently the Broncos new HC was pushing for this. Also Kubiak was advising Elway that Flacco would be a good pickup.

Joe wasnt great but was a warrior that raised his game in the playoffs. He also wasn't surrounded with good receivers since the SB team. Best of luck Joe. I'm glad we could get a 4th for him.

Because it's so easy finding a QB.

He's a place holder for Drew Lock.

 

[Terry Yake]

keenum probably ends up in jax

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Broncos didn't pay much and its an upgrade over what they had at QB

With pieces they have on D an improved offense with Flacco at QB could easily see Broncos back to WC team

good job decosta

flacco already has already pulled off his greatest moment at mile high and he hasn't even played a single down for the broncos

Why not save the pick and cap space and just have Keenum be the place holder? They're basically the same guy at this point with Keenum being the shorter and more mobile version.

This is yet another Elway QB decision I don't get.

Elway is good at picking other positions on the team except QB.

I think he believes the Broncos are in a win now situation so they are getting that veteran quarterback. If he drafts a QB this draft, he’s gonna be on the bench learning

Agreed. This is basically a lateral move.

not sure if it's best for locker room morale to have keenum back making big bucks after he was so terrible last year.

stupid move but it has the side benefit that it means keenum is gone.

SRS question here:

Does Elway still have a job(or is shifted to another role) with the Broncos if he failed to sign Peyton Manning?
