Denver gets 6th-round pick in 2020, Washington gets 7th rounder
The Denver Broncos have agreed to trade quarterback Case Keenum to the Washington Redskins, sources confirmed to ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Thursday.
In exchange, the Broncos will get a sixth-round pick in the 2020 draft from the Redskins. Washington will also get a 2020 seventh-rounder from Denver. The 31-year-old Keenum, who was currently slated to count $21 million against the Broncos’ salary cap for the 2019 season, has reworked his contract and will be on a one-year deal with the Redskins, sources told Schefter.

Nerdy Football Analysis: The Redskins are one of the few teams looking for quarterback help in 2019 with Alex Smith still on the mend from a broken leg. This helps the Broncos get rid of a player that would’ve counted far more against their salary cap had they just released him. Denver is expected to complete a trade for Joe Flacco once the league year begins on March 13th. Both Flacco and Keenum will be undesirable fantasy options.
