The last time he was a full-time starter was with the Broncos in 2018. This will be Keenum\u2019s 11th season and eighth team. He has been in the league since 2012, when the Texans signed him to their practice squad after a stellar career at the University of Houston.<\/p>\n<h2>Other Bears News<\/h2>\n<p>Boykin is from Tinley Park and starred at Providence Catholic before going on to play at Notre Dame.<\/p>\n<p>By Jason Lieser<br \/>\n[month] [day], [year], [hour]:[minute][ampm] [timezone]<br \/>\n<span data-date=\"\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Upcoming Season<\/h2>\n<p>Williams\u2019 second NFL season will officially begin when the Bears report to Halas Hall on Monday for the start of their offseason program.<\/p>\n<p>By Patrick Finley<br \/>\n[month] [day], [year], [hour]:[minute][ampm] [timezone]<br \/>\n<span data-date=\"\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"Image\" alt=\"Chicago Bears v Green Bay Packers\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cst.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/99da356\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/3030x2020+0+0\/resize\/840x560!\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F1d%2F61%2F562f1c2b4bc09c21bbe54fd9e3b8%2F2192538847.jpg 1x,https:\/\/cst.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/aa3bb69\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/3030x2020+0+0\/resize\/1680x1120!\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F1d%2F61%2F562f1c2b4bc09c21bbe54fd9e3b8%2F2192538847.jpg 2x\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/cst.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/99da356\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/3030x2020+0+0\/resize\/840x560!\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F1d%2F61%2F562f1c2b4bc09c21bbe54fd9e3b8%2F2192538847.jpg\" data-lazy-load=\"true\" bad-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSI1NjBweCIgd2lkdGg9Ijg0MHB4Ij48L3N2Zz4=\"><\/p>\n<h2>Bears&#8217; Property<\/h2>\n<p>The Bears own 326 acres in Arlington Heights.<\/p>\n<p>By Patrick Finley<br \/>\n[month] [day], [year], [hour]:[minute][ampm] [timezone]<br \/>\n<span data-date=\"\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"Image\" alt=\"IMG_5870.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cst.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/dd70f80\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/4032x3024+0+0\/resize\/840x630!\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F2f%2Ffa%2F91bccc664dc6973d771a5a145a74%2Fimg-5870.jpg 1x,https:\/\/cst.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/6c9d039\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/4032x3024+0+0\/resize\/1680x1260!\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F2f%2Ffa%2F91bccc664dc6973d771a5a145a74%2Fimg-5870.jpg 2x\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/cst.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/dd70f80\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/4032x3024+0+0\/resize\/840x630!\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchorus-production-cst-web.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F2f%2Ffa%2F91bccc664dc6973d771a5a145a74%2Fimg-5870.jpg\" data-lazy-load=\"true\" bad-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSI2MzBweCIgd2lkdGg9Ijg0MHB4Ij48L3N2Zz4=\"><\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>The signing of Case Keenum is a strategic move by the Bears to provide guidance and support to their young quarterbacks, Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent.
