Case Keenum is reportedly set for a 900 percent raise in 2018.
The free-agent quarterback apparently intends to sign with the Denver Broncos when the market officially opens Wednesday, and his deal is expected to be worth around $36 million over two years, a source told Albert Breer of MMQB.com.
He earned just $2 million as a member of the Minnesota Vikings last season.
While Keenum is getting an enormous pay bump, he's tied for 20th in the league with Blake Bortles in terms of average yearly salary, and the signing likely shouldn't stop Denver from targeting a quarterback early in the draft.
Keenum had a career year in 2017, throwing for over 3,500 yards and 22 touchdowns to seven interceptions.
