Keenum Returns to Chicago, Mentoring Young QBs

0:00It's March 10th for the NFL. Let's get into it. Case Kingdom, the veteran quarterback, best known for his magical run with the Minnesota Vikings, has resigned with the Chicago Bears. The 38-year-old inked a two-year deal worth $5,500,000, with a possible maximum of 8 million through. Incentives, he's not there to start games though, but to guide the team's young quarterbacks. Last off season, Kingdom joined Chicago to back up, and mentor rookies like Caleb Williams and Tyson Beijing. He hasn't thrown a pass in a game since the 2023 season, focusing instead on his leadership role off the field. Bears coach Thomas Johnson praised Kingdom's impact, saying his experience from big games has been huge for Williams' growth and the whole team's mindset. After an emotional win, Kingdom helps everyone refocus quickly, just as planned when they brought him in. His career started as an undrafted free agent from Houston in 2012. He suited up for nine teams, playing in 80 games with 66 starts, tallying 79 touchdown

1:05passes, and 51 interceptions. His peak came in 2017 with the Vikings, where he went 11 and 3 as a starter. Next season, Kingdom returns to US Bank Stadium in Minnesota, sight of his most famous moment. While the Vikings moved on to Kirk Cousins after that playoff push, his steady hand and wisdom keep proving valuable in Chicago's quarterback room.
