What It Means:

No surprise here as the Bears had already gone all-in with 2017 first-round pick Mitch Trubisky as their quarterback for 2018 and beyond. Glennon signed a three-year, $45M contract last March before the team drafted Trubisky. The move frees up $11m in cap space this season and $14M in 2019.

Glennon made 4 starts in 2017, completing 66.4% of his 140 pass attempts for 833 yards, 4 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions. He recorded -0.09 net expected points per pass, ranking 35th out of the 45 QBs to attempt at least 100 passes.
