The Chicago Bears will release quarterback Mike Glennon once the new league year begins on March 14, general manager Ryan Pace announced at the scouting combine Wednesday in Indianapolis.
Pace also announced that the team plans to release linebacker Willie Young, which will officially occur later Wednesday.
Glennon was scheduled to make $12.5 million as the backup to Mitch Trubisky in 2018. The Bears are already on the hook for Glennon's fully guaranteed $2.5 million roster bonus, putting the total price tag for Glennon's one-year stint in Chicago at $18.5 million.
