Chicago Bears Aim to Begin a New Era with Mike Glennon

During the 2016-17 off-season, the Chicago Bears front office shifted the team roster in several significant ways. Perhaps the most notable change is the quarterback position: the Bears released Jay Cutler in March and signed Mike Glennon from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Glennon agreed to a three-year contract for $16 million.

Ryan Pace, the general manager of the Bears, commented that the acquisition of Glennon will likely affect the length of time the team will look for another quarterback in the 2017 NFL Draft. Glennon played college football at North Carolina State and spent three seasons with Tampa Bay. He will have the opportunity to move out of a backup role and into the starting position with Chicago this fall.
