Another quarterback is unofficially off the market. Former Chicago Bears<\/a> and Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a> quarterback Mike Glennon<\/a><\/strong> has reportedly come to terms with the Arizona Cardinals<\/a>. Glennon hasn\u2019t officially been released by the Bears, but the organization has already announced that they intend to do so at the beginning of the league year. The Bears allowed Glennon to\u00a0negotiate with new teams. NFL Network\u2019s Tiffany Blackmon<\/a> had the initial report of the signing.<\/p>\n

Report: Arizona Cardinals to Sign Mike Glennon<\/a><\/h1>\n

Glennon entered the league as a third-round pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a> in the 2013 NFL Draft. The quarterback out of North Carolina State started a combined 18 games in the first two years of his career. Glennon showed potential, throwing for 29 touchdowns and 15 interceptions over that timespan.<\/p>\n

However, his promise wasn\u2019t enough to stop Tampa Bay from drafting Jameis Winston<\/a> <\/strong>with the first overall pick in 2015. Winston\u2019s arrival immediately relegated Glennon to the backup role, and he would only see game action twice after 2015. Glennon\u2019s contract expired after the 2016 season, and was one of the most coveted quarterbacks in free agency.<\/p>\n

The Chicago Bears took a chance on Glennon, signing him to a three-year, $45-million dollar contract. Despite the big investment, Chicago still took quarterback Mitch Trubisky<\/a><\/strong> with the second overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. Trubisky was seen as a raw product, and the Bears wanted Glennon to start at quarterback while Trubisky learned the ins and outs of NFL quarterbacking.<\/p>\n

However, the results didn\u2019t follow the plan. Glennon struggled in his lone season with the Bears. Glennon started just four games, throwing for 833 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions. Chicago only won one of his starts, and the Bears decided that it was best for Trubisky to learn on the job. Glennon didn\u2019t see a snap the rest of the season\u00a0and was considered one of the worst free agent additions of 2017.<\/p>\n
