The NFL world was rocked today as veteran quarterback Case Keenum announced his shocking contract

termination with the Houston Texans. The sudden split comes amid what

Keenum describes as “brutal and unjust”

criticism from the club, leading to his

decision to leave the team he’s represented twice during his career.

 

Keenum, an iconic figure in Houston football, began his professional journey with the Texans after going undrafted in

2012. The emotional press conference, held earlier today, saw tears not just

from the quarterback but also from fans and

teammates who have admired his

resilience, leadership, and commitment to the franchise over the years.

 

### The Criticism

 

Rumors had been swirling in recent weeks about growing tension between Keenum and the Texans’ coaching staff.

Reports suggest that disagreements over his role as a backup quarterback had

escalated, with the coaching staff reportedly

critiquing his performance

during training camp and pre-season appearances. Despite these tensions, few

expected the situation to lead to such an abrupt conclusion.

 

“I’ve given my heart to this team, and it hurts to walk away,” Keenum said tearfully during the announcement. “But

the criticism I’ve faced was brutal and beyond

football. It crossed a line, and I

felt I could no longer give my all under these circumstances.”

 

### A Storied Career

 

Keenum’s career has been a rollercoaster, marked by stints with

several NFL teams, including the Minnesota

Vikings, where he famously

led them to the NFC Championship Game in 2017, and with the Denver Broncos,

where he was their starting quarterback for the 2018 season. However, Keenum’s

ties to Houston are deep. A University of Houston

alum, he remains the NCAA’s

all-time leader in passing yards, touchdowns, and completions.

 

Keenum returned to the Texans in 2023 in what many saw as a fitting full-circle

moment for the 35-year-old quarterback, brought in to provide leadership and experience behind rookie standout C.J.

Stroud. Though his playing time was limited, Keenum was praised for his

mentorship of Stroud and other young players. Now, the surprise exit has left

many wondering about what went wrong behind closed doors.

 

### A New Chapter

 

As Keenum parts ways with Houston, sources indicate that he is already set to join a new team in the coming days.

While his next destination has not yet been officially confirmed, speculation

points to the possibility of Keenum signing with a playoff-contending team

looking for a veteran backup or a mentor to a young quarterback.

 

Keenum’s departure marks the end of an era for the Texans, but also the beginning

of a new chapter for the quarterback, whose journey in the NFL has always

been about defying the odds. “I still have a lot

left in the tank,” Keenum said

confidently. “This isn’t the end. I’m excited for what’s next.”

 

### Fan Reactions

 

The news has prompted an outpouring of emotions from Texans fans, who have long admired Keenum’s perseverance

and underdog story. Social media was flooded with tributes, as fans thanked

him for his service to the team and wished him well on his next adventure.

 

“Case was a class act both on and off the field,” one

fan tweeted. “Houston will

always be his home, no matter where he goes next.”

 

As the NFL world waits to see where Keenum will land, one thing is certain—

his impact on the Texans and the league will not soon be forgotten.
