Gas2No99 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Bills, 49ers, Jets all out of Glennon bidding CSN Chicago reports the 49ers, Jets, and Bills have all dropped out of the bidding for free agent Mike Glennon. We're not convinced the Bills were ever involved, while multiple reports elsewhere suggest the Jets were severely outbid by the Bears. Bay Area reports state the 49ers have "no interest" in Glennon at all. With only the Bears left to bid, it's possible Glennon's price tag drops below his expected $14-15 million annually. All signs continue to point toward Glennon landing in Chicago. Source: CSN Chicago Mar 7 - 2:51 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdeacon Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 We really do keep dodging bullets that would set the franchise back. It is almost like their is an external force out there determined we will not ruin our total rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prime21 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Looking at the salaries of the starting NFL QB's and Glennon is probably where he should be at in the 15m range. This excludes the QB's with rookie contracts. YES - he hasn't done anything but this is the economy right now especially for a QB's that have talent like Glennon. Tyrod is going to cost the same thing or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTFOH with that, the Bears can have him Bingo. I was fine with the theoretical concept of him being here, if it were on the cheap. But in today's NFL, the cost of free agent QBs is absolutely laughable for guys who have proven very little. Osweiler was basically the perfect example of "what not to do". Just like it was for Matt Cassel, Matt Flynn, and plenty of other backup QBs who teams paid to hopefully be their guy based on a very small sample size.

Maxman Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I think Glennon is a better prosect than Hackenberg. But he isn't a sure thing. So I like the process of the Jets having interest, following it but having a ceiling. Good move. Now if the price drops or if he doesn't want to go to Chicago, you can jump back in. But no reason to help drive up the price if you are actually interested in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall specific dollars can't be discussed until the legal tampering period is over, so unless the bears broke the rules they mus have just said something like "he will enjoy living next to osweiller" lol when friday gets here he may be in fitz' neighborhood, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some cautionary tale! A team having moderate success in spite of sh*tty QB doesn't make that QB any less sh*tty, especially when benched for the sh*tty backup who the team did as well, or better, with.

Your the one saying Osweiler is this big cautionary tale and why we can't sign Glennon yet he made the playoffs last year and won a playoff game -- his "stacked" team didn't even have its best player the entire year Sorry if facts don't square with your amateur capologists argument Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
