With 25M guaranteed that puts Case at a minimum $32M for his career (potential of $43M and then more if he finished his 2 year $36M contact).
Will the 32 make Case the highest paid UH player in NFL history?

I think Kolb made over $45MM.

Looking at Spotrac.com, Kolb probably is the highest paid Coog of all-time at just over $29M. I say probably because itâs hard to get contract details of players from the last century, but I donât think any Coog would have made that much considering that salaries werenât as high as they are today.
Based off what they list as âactiveâ Coogs, Seabass would be the next highest at $22.4M. DJ Hayden is currently 2nd on that list at $14.1M and would pass Kolb if he finishes out his contract with Jacksonville. However, Case would pass both if he completes both years on his current Denver contract:
William Jackson III will move up that list quickly when he signs his next contract, and then youâve got Big Ed who should get a huge contract right from the get-go.

Pray10, that doesnât square with this:
From article:
Kolb made approximately $14.4million from the Eagles, $30 million from the Cardinals and will make $2.65 million from the Bills for total earnings of over $47 million. In a league where teams usually dictate earnings to players, Kolb is the rare player without Pro Bowl credentials who tilted the leverage his way, taking full advantage of typically bleak landscapes of available quarterbacks. While his success on the field was mixed, he is a clear winner off it.
Iâm not sure whoâs right. Only thing I can say about NFL contracts is that there is a lot of fluff and ways that they push around money in order to make contracts seem bigger than they are sometimes.
A lot can been learned from a fan-oriented âchalk talkâ presentation. Especially when the local starting quarterback is the drawing up the Xâs and Oâs.
Case Keenum explained the so-called Minnesota Miracle to a select group of Broncos fans Wednesday night.

What he says after describing the play will be why he is remembered forever.

This is why he is my favorite. If there is any player you want your kid to want to be like, you canât do better than Case Keenum.

Great video but more importantly great message. Putting things in perspective is so hard for all of us to do. When you can you are always better of. I have to remind myself of it. Thank you very much for posting.

Hereâs an exhaustive article on Case including a ton of player quotes all resoundly underwriting his leadership on this upcoming Broncos season.
Worth the read but will take you a while to consume.

That was a great article derek. It looks like some others are starting to see what we Coogs knew all along.

As Keenum said, Sullivan is a meticulous coach. That attention to detail is something that can go a long way toward maximizing Keenumâs ability. The Broncos believe Keenum unlocked something last year in Minnesota, and the onus is on Sullivan to coach him up in a way that translates that production into 2018.
While the Broncos are yet to play any meaningful football this year, the early returns on Sullivanâs impact have been positive. The quarterbacks have their ducks in a row and itâs having a trickle-down effect on the offense as a whole.

Case had a lot of good ratings despite having onlt 5 teams with QBâs having less time to throw.

As I detailed recently, the Broncos will be fielding a variant of the West Coast Offense under Bill Musgrave in 2018. Musgrave has been consulting with Kubiak on a regular basis, a kindred disciple of the WCO.
Kubiak was seen observing practice during every OTA session open to the media, and thereâs no reason to believe thatâs going to change when training camp opens. Kubiakâs presence on the field, even in a spectator role (though we know it goes beyond that), could have a great effect on Case Keenum.
Itâs another guy whom Keenum trusts and has history with and at the very least, Kubiak can help bridge any possible gap between the newcomer QB and the OC Musgrave. Keenum is experienced in the WCO, thanks in part to Kubiak, and that will give him a leg up in his first year as a Bronco.
He might be learning a new playbook, and some new terminology, but the basic concepts and tenants of the WCO are natural to Keenum. Itâll be like putting on an old baseball mitt.
