Mike Glennon Expected To Land 14-15 Mil Per Season

[remydat]

Signing a FA to hedge your bets on draft day because you're not sure who will be available makes sense. It makes less sense when you're sitting on the #3 pick in the draft and everyone knows a freak DE is going #1, and the team sitting at #2 has their eyes set on Kirk Cousins... but it still makes sense in theory....

Where your premise falls apart is at signing a never-was in Glennon to some $14/15M deal simply to hedge your bets on draft day. If you're looking for a 1 year stop-gap, I'm sorry, but that's just fucking Special person. Hoyer can fill that role for a fraction of the price.

First, Glennon is a has been that had a better rookie year than Carson Wentz.

Second, if the Niners sign Cousins then you have a point but since they haven't signed him yet you have no point. He is still franchised by the Skins.

Third, even if the Browns take Garett and the Skins sign Cousins then signing Glennon could still be an option if Pace has late 1st/2nd round grades on the QBs and so thinks all of them need time. In that scenario he can take the best of who is left in the 2nd round.

In short, while I prefer we take a QB at 3, that's because I have the top 3 as 1st round picks. Many people do no and so if you don't then getting a vet QB with some upside and waiting until the 2nd or 3rd round to get a QB is reasonable.

What do you disagree with that doesn't involve you making assumptions that are no more likely than mine?

If Pace drafts a capable rookie that takes the starting job from money bags Mike Glennon in preseason, it will make him look like a fool. He will scout these QB's carefully and select one that will not embarrass his big free agent signing immediately.

Lol, Pete Carroll looked like a fool when Russel Wilson outperformed the guy he signed to a 3 year 26 million deal. No one gave a **** because his looking like a fool still ended in a playoff birth.

You guys seem to care more about appearances than results. I don't give a **** if Pace or Fox look like a fool. I care about the final product and as long as one of Glennon or a rookie end up being the solution at QB then oh well.

Carroll got extremely lucky. Wilson was selected in the middle of the 3rd round. Do you think Carroll waits til the 3rd round if he didn't already have Flynn?

Bears fan 35 years and I'll be damned if Glennon will be the one to make me stop watching, but I will say this...Pace has said the following,

"In my mind, there is no more important position than the quarterback," Pace said Wednesday during his end-of-season press conference. "It is a critical, critical position. I know and I recognize that the decision that we make on that quarterback is going to be significant for all of us for the direction that this organization is going to head."

He can sign Glennon, but if he does not make a significant move in the draft and blames it on value I'll be pissed. I have heard him use the cover numerous times for fa and draft. I think he needs to tuck in his string and make a move. If they push this down the road, I'll be right there with everyone else yelling to scrap this thing and start all over again....perhaps ultimately it's a good thing. I will be rooting Michigan on to a championship this season, maybe then Harbaugh can be lured away and we can get some real talent in the front office.

I'd rather the Bears use that money to bring back Jeffery and pair him with Cutler again. They could probably use the Glennon money to sign two solid defensive players/offensive linemen.

Interesting read from a Bucs beat writer:

For what it's worth.... seems like some of the local guys have a higher opinion of him than we do.

If Glennon is expected to make $15 mil a season why not go after Kirk Cousins?

youd be giving up a 1st and second probably

The obvious answer is Cousins will probably cost two first round picks to trade for.

 

[dweebs19]

Isn't Glennon the qb who chased away Russel Wilson from NCState? who knows...maybe he really has improved and is a steal at 14Mil

 

[dweebs19]

Also, Cousins said he most likely just signing an extension only with the 49ers

 

[CHICAGOMIDWAYMONSTERS]

Glennnnnon is garbage

 

[ZOMBIE@CTESPN]

youd be giving up a 1st and second probably

More like we would need to trade to the level of what we traded for jay cutler

The best case scenario is identify someone in the draft and get him. Something pace had a chance to do two years in a row

Only sacked 7 times against rams. Major upgrade over cutler. Who can forget his perfect 9 sack game v. Giants.

I've a feeling everything's gonna be just fine...

I still want Watson or Kizer. But I'm just posting some info I found to be interesting. Do with it as you will...

 

[CHICAGOMIDWAYMONSTERS]

Glennon 14mil a year OR Deshaun Watson 4mil a year?!?!?!?

Watson > Dak Prescott at this point last year.

The Seattle Seahawks have been great because they had a great defense with a QB making barely anything!

DRAFT THE SUPER ATHLETIC DESHAUN WATSON...dont over think it.

Of course, much appreciated.

It takes a lot of work to get butthurt for something that hasn't happened yet...

Even if the Bears take Glennon I'd still wait for the draft and see what happens.....


I have a hard time believing Glennon is the Bears future and I don't think Pace believes it either.

No way in hell is he looking at Glennon as our long term QB. I'm sure he'll get his chance at being the future but he would really have to show out for that to happen.

 

[modo]

Glennon is not the answer....I believe the Bears know this.....they will draft a QB

 

[Bearly]

Yea, corrected it... am working, listening, typing here,... Just posting what I am hearing. Not even sure who's talking, but it is some sort of insider as he was referring to a talk with a GM. Also, talking different players at the combine. He seems to know a lot about the players.

Matt Miller. No better than any of the other pundits and less of an insider than he puts on.
