Report: Keenum agrees to 3-year, $18M deal with Browns
Quarterback Case Keenum has agreed to a three-year, $18-million contract with the Cleveland Browns, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Keenum's deal includes $10 million guaranteed, Schefter adds.
The 32-year-old began last season as the Washington Redskins' starter after being traded from the Denver Broncos in March 2019.
Keenum lost the starting role in Washington to rookie Dwayne Haskins midway through the campaign but ended up starting the season finale with Haskins sidelined by an injury. Overall, the veteran quarterback completed 64.8% of his passes for 1,707 yards and 11 touchdowns against five interceptions across 10 appearances in 2019.
The signal-caller's best campaign came in 2017 with the Minnesota Vikings. He posted an 11-3 record regular-season record and helped the Vikings reach the NFC Championship Game.
Originally signed by the Texans as an undrafted free agent out of Houston in 2012, Keenum will serve as Baker Mayfield's backup in 2020. Mayfield threw 22 touchdowns against 21 interceptions for the Browns last year.
