The Chicago Bears are focused on 2017 for the moment, but that doesn't mean they don't have an eye towards the future. It's been their plan from the beginning. Always looking ahead. One curious situation that remains a bit unclear is their quarterbacks. Anybody with common sense can see Mitch Trubisky is the future. Does this mean the team might be trying to construct a Mike Glennon trade scenario for 2018?
Well it's not clear from their end, but it might be from the team they're facing in week two of the preseason. The Arizona Cardinals have a situation of their own at quarterback. Carson Palmer flirted with retirement this offseason before choosing to return for another year. He's 37-years old. The clock is ticking. Arizona failed to acquire a potential replacement in the draft.
So now their eyes are looking towards 2018.
Mike Glennon trade could be possible for Cardinals
According to the latest edition of the Athlon NFL magazine, it seems the Cardinals have had their eyes on Glennon for some time. Not surprising. Bruce Arians, their head coach, prefers bigger quarterbacks with strong arms. Glennon fits that criteria well. There is a belief Arizona may be contemplating a move for him if he's made available at some point.This could potentially be an ideal situation for the Bears. That's of course if the theory is right and Trubisky inherits the job at some point. Being able to unload Glennon for a draft pick is certainly something GM Ryan Pace would have to consider. It would be another addition that would further erase the package they gave up for Trubisky in the draft. Glennon's value will depend on two factors. The money shouldn't be a problem as most of the guarantees are finished by the second year. The other is his health and performance level this season. If he at least stays injury free and makes a decent accounting of himself, then there's no reason to think Arizona wouldn't bite. This of course assuming their interest is significant.
