It’s no secret that the Chicago Bears are in the hunt for a new quarterback. One can say it’s the all-consuming obsession of fans everywhere. This is the first time in eight seasons that the franchise is undergoing a major change at that position. Jay Cutler appears on his way out, the team ready for a fresh start and already rumored to have moves in mind.
Of course there remains the perceived interest in Jimmy Garoppolo. The New England Patriots backup shined in his brief opportunity last season. His hometown ties to Illinois, age and skill set are all things that just fit the Bears well. The problem is the asking price for him may be too high. Then there is Mike Glennon. Former backup for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he’s viewed as one of the top options in a thin free agent class. Somebody the Bears are rumored to have interest in.
Most agree that Glennon is far from a franchise answer at the position. However, as a “bridge” QB who can start for a year or two while a team develops a rookie? He’d be a good choice. It’s a matter of figuring out who the Bears might have in mind. Nobody knows for sure, but there is a new trail of bread crumbs that could tip off who they have in mind
