(670 The Score) As expected, the Bears will release reserve quarterback Mike Glennon at the start of the new league year that comes March 14, general manager Ryan Pace said at the NFL Combine on Wednesday.
The move will clear $11.5 million more for the Bears in salary cap space. Glennon will walk away with $18.5 million in what turned out to be a disastrous four-game stint as the Bears’ starting quarterback last season. Glennon had five interceptions and fumbled three times in those four games before rookie Mitchell Trubisky was elevated to be the starting quarterback.
The Bears will also release edge rusher Willie Young, Pace said. The Bears’ evaluation of the futures of cornerback Marcus Cooper and receiver Markus Wheaton, who both had disappointing 2017 campaigns, is ongoing, Pace added.
The Bears are also still evaluating whether they want to use the franchise tag on cornerback Kyle Fuller.
