Less than a year after signing with the Chicago Bears, Mike Glennon’s time with the team appears to be over. The Bears are expected to cut Glennon this offseason, ESPN’s Jeff Dickerson notes.

The veteran quarterback lost his starting job to rookie Mitchell Trubisky in Week 5 after turning the ball over eight times in four games. Glennon, who signed a contract last offseason that included $18.5 million in guarantees, now seems out of place in new coach Matt Nagy's offense, which is expected to rely heavily on run-pass options for Trubisky. Plus, Glennon's base salary for 2018 is $12.5 million. That's way too much money for a backup quarterback. The writing is clearly on the wall that Glennon will not be playing in Chicago next season.

After spending his first four years in the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Glennon signed a three-year, $45 million deal with the Chicago Bears on March 9 last year with the intention of finally getting the opportunity to become a legitimate starting quarterback in the NFL. However, Glennon’s future was in doubt the moment the Bears decided to take quarterback Mitchell Trubisky No. 2 overall in last year’s draft.

Glennon still started the first four games of the 2017 season and completed 66 percent of his passes for 833 yards and four touchdowns. But he threw five interceptions and committed eight total turnovers as the Bears went 1-3 in those four games, and Trubisky took over for the remainder of the year.

The Bears appear set to move forward with Trubisky as their starting quarterback, which is why it makes sense to let go of Glennon, who is not worth the money he’s getting to be a backup.
