LAKE FOREST, Ill., — The quarterback room for the Chicago Bears got a little bigger this offseason. On Thursday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Bears have agreed to a deal with veteran signal-caller Case Keenum. The deal is for one year and can be worth up to $3M.
The 37-year-old Keenum joins the Bears roster in hopes of mentoring young quarterback Caleb Williams. With Tyson Bagent and Austin Reed already on the roster, Chicago wanted a veteran to have around Williams as he enters his second NFL season.
Keenum has spent 11 seasons in the NFL splitting time between Houston, St. Louis/Los Angeles, Minnesota, Denver, Washington, Cleveland and Buffalo. Most recently, he was with the Texans in 2023. In his career, he has thrown for 15,175 yards, 79 touchdowns and 51 interceptions. In 2017, he went 11-3 as a starter for the Minnesota Vikings, leading them to the NFC Championship Game.
