The Chicago Bears are zeroing in on their next quarterback. Brian Hoyer and Matt Barkley are already gone. Jay Cutler doesn’t appear too far behind. Only Connor Shaw remains. This team has to find more bodies for that vital position and their first serious target seems to have emerged in the form of the lanky 6’6″ Mike Glennon.
A former third round pick and backup of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Glennon started 18 games for them. He went 5-13, threw for over 4,000 yards and posted 29 touchdowns to 15 interceptions. Arguments over his validity as a potential starter after two full seasons without playing meaningful snaps are ongoing and heated. Some think he’s worth a look, others are asking how in the world the Bears can justify him being a better option than Cutler or Hoyer.
Those questions will be answered with the next couple days if and when Glennon signs his new deal with the team. What nobody could’ve expected is how this move could potentially impact one of their most bitter rivals. In a way that could have an undesired effect from their point of view.
