It looks like the Chicago Bears have their next starting quarterback in mind. At least for the 2017 season. Word hit recently that they’ve set their sights on 27-year old veteran Mike Glennon. Hailing from N.C. State, he was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2013 and was their starter for 18 games during his first two seasons in the league.
Then he was relegated to backup duties when the team drafted Jameis Winston with the #1 pick in 2015. Since then he’s fallen off the radar, leaving people with just fleeting memories of his stint on the field. Most have long since given up the idea he can start in the NFL, which was why it came as a shock when initial estimates are he’d bring in $14-15 million per year.
Since then people have been scrambling for answers. An answer as to why in the world GM Ryan Pace and his staff can possibly think this guy is worth investing in rather than just keeping Jay Cutler or bringing back Brian Hoyer. Perhaps it’s time to ask some people who might know a few things about the man himself.
