"Case Keenum is most valuable in a role in which he serves as a glorified assistant coach who can serve as a mentor and guiding light for starting quarterback Caleb Williams. Don't get me wrong. I think Williams could still put up quality numbers without Keenum's presence. But no metric provides a value that you can put on having a veteran presence in that position room."
"Case Keenum did not play a single snap during the Bears' 17 regular-season games or in the team's two-game postseason stint. And, frankly, I couldn't have been happier. Good things happen when QB3 doesn't see the field. Think about it. When was the last time something good happened when a third quarterback was called on to play in a meaningful game?"
Case Keenum has agreed to rejoin the Chicago Bears on a two-year contract worth $5.5 million with a maximum value of $8 million. The veteran quarterback will serve as a backup to starting quarterback Caleb Williams. Keenum did not play during the Bears' regular season or postseason last year. His primary value lies in his role as a mentor and experienced presence in the quarterback room rather than as an active player. The contract reflects the Bears' investment in having a veteran quarterback available for emergency situations while providing guidance to their young starting quarterback.
