In one of the quietest free agent signings this off-season, Cardinals’ GM Steve Keim inked QB Mike Glennon to a 2 year $8M deal. The deal was in place at the outset of free agency and was made official once the Bears released Glennon.
This signing marks the second time that Keim signed a backup QB first before acquiring a starter, as was the case in 2013 when Keim signed Drew Stanton and subsequently traded for Carson Palmer. In repeat fashion, after signing Glennon at the beginning of free agency, Keim then signed Sam Bradfprd to a 1 year deal with a 2nd year option.
