Chicago Bears Sign Veteran QB Case Keenum to One-Year Deal

Keenum brings 14 years of NFL experience to mentor second-year quarterback Caleb Williams as the Bears revamp their roster after a challenging 2024 season.

Case Keenum has signed a one-year contract worth up to $3 million with the Chicago Bears, marking his return to the NFC North.
The 37-year-old quarterback is expected to serve as a mentor and backup to Caleb Williams, the Bears' second-year starting quarterback.
Keenum's arrival adds experience to a quarterback room that also includes Tyson Bagent and Austin Reed, raising questions about Bagent's role as the primary backup.
The Bears are focusing on mentorship and broader roster improvements, including adding offensive linemen and wide receivers, to support Williams' development.
Keenum missed the 2024 season due to a preseason foot injury but brings a wealth of experience, including leading the Vikings to the NFC Championship Game in 2017.
