John Elway is looking to free agency for his fix at quarterback following a season in which all three of his drafted QBs fell flat in Denver.
After sitting out the playoffs in each of the last two years following their Super Bowl 50 triumph Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jerseys Womens , the Broncos have apparently found their next signal-caller. Case Keenum plans to sign with Denver when free agency opens Wednesday, ESPN reported early Tuesday.
That would leave the Vikings, Cardinals and Jets vying to land ex-Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins, who is expected to sign a record-breaking contract this week.
The 30-year-old Keenum is considered the second-best QB available on the open market. He guided Minnesota to the NFC championship game after replacing an injured Sam Bradford last season.
Keenum went 11-3 with 3,547 yards passing, 22 touchdowns and seven interceptions and threw that last-second heave to Stefon Diggs to stun the New Orleans Saints 29-24 in the playoffs.
The Vikings, who were subsequently blown out at Philadelphia in the conference championship, decided to let all three of their QBs 鈥?Keenum, Bradford and Teddy Bridgewater 鈥?test free agency.
With a sparkling new stadium, stacked roster and head coaching stability, the Vikings jumped to the head of the line of potential suitors for Cousins.
The Broncos, who own the fifth pick in next month's NFL draft, also considered Cousins following a 5-11 season in which Trevor Siemian, Brock Osweiler and Paxton Lynch all struggled behind a porous offensive line and questionable play-calling before Mike McCoy was replaced by Bill Musgrave as offensive coordinator.
All three quarterbacks were draft picks by Elway http://www.cowboysauthorizedshops.com/authentic-ji...ard-jer sey , the Hall of Fame quarterback who has only had success at quarterback in free agency.
Six years ago, Elway landed Peyton Manning, the biggest free agent prize in NFL history, following his release by the Colts and a series of neck fusion surgeries.
Manning had a spectacular closing chapter in Denver, leading the Broncos to the playoffs in all four of his seasons, reaching two Super Bowls and winning one.
Manning retired a month after Denver's 24-10 win over Carolina in Super Bowl 50, and Elway brought in veteran Mark Sanchez, then moved up to grab Lynch in the first round of the draft.
But it was Siemian, a seventh-rounder from Northwestern, who emerged as Manning's surprise successor in 2016.
Gary Kubiak stepped down as head coach over health concerns following a 9-7 season that ended the Broncos' five-year playoff run.
Siemian again handily beat out Lynch last summer, but the Broncos would cycle through their trio of homegrown QBs during a 5-11 season that nearly cost rookie head coach Vance Joseph his job.
Keenum is a player the Broncos know well because Kubiak, now the Broncos' senior personnel adviser, coached him for two seasons while he was head coach of the Houston Texans.
Keenum would have veterans Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders as his targets in Denver after Elway chose not to release either of the expensive wide receivers.
At the NFL scouting combine this month, Elway said Youth Kendall Wright Jersey , "we'll continue to look at all of the options out there when it comes to quarterback."
That included choosing among the draft prospects that include Josh Allen, Josh Rosen, Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield and others.
Despite his swings and misses at QB before, Elway said, "Believe me, I'm not done swinging and missing. Misses don't bother me. We just have to figure out a way to get it right. That is what we are working on."
Siemian, Lynch and Chad Kelly, a seventh-rounder last year who sat out his rookie season with injuries, remain on the roster.
Elway insists the Broncos can get right back into the playoff picture with the right quarterback and tweaks to other areas of the roster.
"I still think we're not too far away," Elway said at the combine. "Obviously, we have to get better at that (quarterback) position. We didn't play well there last year. That doesn't all go on the players. There were some things that we should have done differently that we didn't do. I feel like we can get right back in the thick of the things rather quickly."
Oklahoma City was built this offseason around three All-Stars with the hopes of contending for the Western Conference crown.
The Utah Jazz started the year 18-26 without center Rudy Gobert. But Gobert returned and the Jazz rolled off 11 straight wins into Valentineâs Day with the help of a surprise rookie of the year contender.
One more win and the Jazz will reach the second round for the second straight year. Theyâll send the Thunder home with a second straight first-round exit â despite Oklahoma Cityâs overhauled, star-studded roster.
After losing the first game on the road, Utah won decisively in each of the past three games Authentic Jonathan Allen Jersey , including a 17-point victory in Game 4 â a game the Thunder called a must-win in Salt Lake City.
âItâs the playoffs, itâs gonna be war,â Utah point guard Ricky Rubio, who had a triple-double in Game 3, told the Salt Lake Tribune after Utahâs 113-96 victory in Game 4. âWe know that itâs gonna be another war next game. We just have to be tough but at the same time, mentally ready for that.â
Game 5 is set for 9:30 p.m. EST Wednesday at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Jazz rookie Donovan Mitchell, who averaged 20 points per game during the regular season, has averaged 27.6 points during the past three games â taking his play to another level to lead a balanced Jazz attack that has five players averaging in double figures. Mitchell, who was the 13th overall pick in last yearâs draft, has scored 110 points through the first four games, the most by a rookie in his first four games since Michael Jordanâs 117 in 1985, according to nba.com.
âTo be honest, a lot of this is surreal. Iâm just taking it game-by-game and not really getting caught up in the big picture,â Mitchell told the Salt Lake City Tribune. âJust focusing on game-by-game. My teammates have helped me out a lot as far as that goes. But weâre playing together.â
Oklahoma City point guard Russell Westbrook picked up four fouls before halftime in Game 4 and was fined $10 Terrell Edmunds Jersey Elite ,000 for an altercation with Gobert late in the game. Luckily for the Thunder, he was not suspended following his altercation with the Utah center.
Westbrookâs foul trouble has hardly been the Thunderâs biggest issue.
Oklahoma City was inconsistent much of the year, but it has had to contend with shooting woes from offseason acquisition Carmelo Anthony, who has hit just 25 percent of his 3-pointers in the first four games of the playoffs.
âWe gotta win, nothing to it,â Anthony said after the Game 4 loss. âWeâve just gotta win. We can sit here and say what we gotta do, or what we didnât do or what we did do, but it comes down to having the will to win that game Wednesday and forcing a Game 6 back in Utah.â
Winning in Utah wonât to be easy, where the Jazz have won six straight. Oklahoma City has to get back to Salt Lake City first and stave off elimination. But Utah hasnât lost three straight games since Gobertâs return to the lineup in mid-January.
âEvery gameâs been physical,â Gobert said to reporters. âWe just got to watch the tape, see how much better we can get and get ready to play basketball.â
