Backup QB Odds: Handicapping the passers Washington could sign in free agency

The Redskins will definitely sign a QB in free agency and give him a chance to compete for the top spot, but who will they choose to sign?

Case Keenum — Washington Redskins (+150)

Case Keenum sticking around this offseason seems like the most likely outcome for me, but it is undoubtedly the most boring. After being sidelined due to injury in 2019, Keenum saw his starting job be taken over by a rookie quicker than expected, and Washington suffered dearly for it. Haskins was forced to play before he was ready, and it was painfully obvious. Nonetheless, Keenum was a solid backup option, playing well when called upon early in the season and offering a great veteran voice in the QB room.

Why not keep that going? Keenum’s contract is up, so it would be understandable to see him try to find a gig where he has a solid chance to become a starting QB, but looking around the NFL free agency market at the position, that may be hard to do. His best bet at seeing the field is by injury at this point, and in Washington, he would at least get a chance to compete for the top spot. Not to mention, he already knows the playbook, as well as the culture in the Nation’s capital.

With (+150) odds, if you wagered $100, you would win $150 in profit.
