Chicago Bears first-round QB Mitchell Trubisky threw his support behind Mike Glennon in an interview with Sirius XM NFL Radio on Friday, June 30.
Footballguys View: Glennon is the free agent addition who got a three-year, $45 million contract from the Bears earlier this year. In 2017, Glennon will have a cap hit of $14 million and a dead cap value of $18.5 million. He’s the starter until Trubisky is ready for prime time. We could see Trubisky get a ‘redshirt’ year during his rookie season so long as Glennon doesn’t fail miserably as the team’s starter.
