One of the hot topics over the past year and half with Bucs fans has been whether the Bucs will trade Mike Glennon. Glennon 26, drafted in the third round of the 2013 NFL draft, has been average for the most part, even though he has put up decent numbers in his first three years. He has totaled 4,025 yards passing to go with 29 tds and 15 ints creating a 83.7 QB rating. However, he has only won 5 games as a starter assembling to a 5-13 record granted the team around him was average to say the least.
Before the 2014 draft, The Bucs had serious interest from other teams calling about Mike Glennon and might have been able to get a third round pick in exchange for him. After the draft, Jason Licht basically said he likes Glennon here with the Bucs and even though there were discussions, nothing substantial to make a move at that time.
Now fast forward to the present where Licht is still saying the same thing about Glennon, where he is just too valuable to this team as a backup QB.
"Mike Glennon is just so valuable to us right now while we have him, while he’s under contract, I feel like we have two starting quarterbacks with him and Jameis,” Licht said. “If you just go out and get a mid-round pick for him, the chances of the mid-round pick working out or drafting a quarterback and that pick working out, the odds aren’t in your favor. Unless there’s [an offer] that blows us away, I think you lean towards keeping him and having him on your roster.”I agree with this statement from Jason Licht as the Bucs shouldn't trade Glennon unless they are getting a 2nd round pick or higher because if Jameis goes down due to injury the season would be over with no capable backup. So relax Glennon lovers, he is going nowhere this offseason.
