The Denver Broncos will likely retain Case Keenum as their quarterback for next season.
Team owner John Elway conceded that Keenum is “probably a short-term fix,” indicating the Broncos are on a continued hunt for their next guy, be it for this year or next year, veteran or rookie, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic.
Keenum however, isn't reading much into the dissonance from Elway. The seven-year veteran is set to make $18 million in base salary in 2019, with $7 million guaranteed.

“I follow a little bit of it. I take it for what it's worth,” Keenum said, via the team's official website. “It's not something that's affecting me and my preparation and how I'm ready to go as a football player and what my job is. It's not affecting my job. For me, I take more of what my coaches say and the meetings that we've had. I had a great meeting with John [Elway] at the end of the year and we've all got to be better. That's hands down what it comes down to. I was mad just like every other (Broncos) fan watching all these playoff games and us sitting at home. I feel the same way that we've all got to be better.”
The 30-year-old Keenum threw for 3,890 yards, 18 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions, and the Broncos won just six games in the 2018-19 season.
