Bucs about to make Glennon the top paid back up QB

He has absolutely no reason to sign anytime soon.  Let them float $12 million, if he can get that from another team why would he sign with Tampa to be traded?  It's not like he would want his new team to forfeit picks when they could have gotten him as a free agent.

I would be pretty surprised to see TB successfully sign him.  They should have traded him last year.

It's actually a smart move for both Glennon and the Bucs. If he goes the FA market, they get maybe a compensatory pick next year (I believe). Here, though, if they sign him for $12 million and then trade him to one of the QB hungry but draft pick leary teams out there, he creates immediate value for the Bucs at no real cost.

What does Glennon get out of it? Well, the galloping giraffe did fair to good in action under a bad coach before, but he's been locked onto the bench since. That's a big if in the market, especially after some miscues like Osweiller and others in similar situations pretty much crapped the bed when they got tabbed as starting or franchise QBs. This gives him a market value to go with his body of work, and $12 million a year looks like the Bucs would pay him close to starting money, so he must be starting talent. (Whether or not he is, still has to be seen.)

Glennon's a good kid and has talent and experience. I'd rather see him in Chicago and taking the reigns from Cutler than sitting on the bench behind a solid #1 QB. He's the kind of guy that Fox could use. And $12 million would be cheap compared to what they've thrown away on Cutler over the years.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By t96 · Posted

      My general take on the state of the team not going too in depth is this: Either Morgan or Canales (hard to say whether it’s the players or the system/coaching, and that goes for any team) has been responsible for considerable strides forward on D and a bit more productive offense, but it’s been a small sample size and we collapsed at the end of the year. I lean towards it being more Canales growing as a coach and building a culture of buy-in and getting the most out of players in the locker room. My reasoning for leaning there is that Morgan was part of the Fitterer stink and it’ll take him a while of sustained success in roster management to overcome that in my mind. Next year is a big year to see if that was a fluke or not. These big signings this offseason are exciting and sometimes teams can have amazing FA classes but more often than not those who spend big and “win the offseason” don’t show the results in the regular season.    As far as QB goes, in a vacuum I’m completely fine with the Pickett signing, he’s ok value for a backup and a huge improvement over Dalton. If Bryce went down there isn’t a huge drop off there and if the rest of the team builds on last year they could win games with him under center. I’m not sure the ‘85 Bears could win games with current Dalton under center. But the O is just so damn limited with Bryce and Pickett does not push him at all, he’s purely a backup. So I agree we I’d love to see a QB with some upside drafted, a guy who could actually push Bryce if/when he struggles or doesn’t improve any further. He’s improved steadily the last 2 years but it has been from arguably worst in league history to still below average. I’m not convinced he can get any better than purely average at absolute best. I hope he can man but I just don’t see it happening. And the longer we keep penciling him as starter the less confidence I have in this staff. Even with our unexpected relative success as a team last year sometimes you do have to take another step back to take a step forward, and that could mean moving on from Bryce, and temporarily going with a slightly worse player like Pickett while aggressively trying to upgrade the position and taking dart throws in the draft/free agency on upside players. I know, there wasn’t much available this offseason outside of Willis, and this draft class seems to be poor at QB. But I’d have preferred we try something and if it didn’t work and we took a step back then just keep trying until something hits. Rolling with Bryce is just delaying the inevitable and living in purgatory.    just my 2 cents, hope I’m proved wrong

      His market value is 15.7 million. Not worth it to bring him at his age, at that price. If we were to bring in a veteran, DeAndre Hopkins is available for 2 million market value. I've said this in other threads, get Keenan Allen to play the slot. He's as good as a pass catching tight end and is market is under 7 million.
