The 37-year-old Keenum has his best season in 2017 when he guided the Minnesota Vikings to the NFC Championship Game. He passed for 3,547 yards and 22 touchdowns against seven interceptions in 15 games (14 starts).

Over his career, Keenum has appeared in 80 games (66 starts) and recorded 15,175 passing yards, 79 passing touchdowns, and 51 interceptions.

He will provide an experienced backup behind 23-year-old Caleb Williams.
