PHOENIX – first appeared on general manager Ryan Pace's radar years before the Bears signed the free-agent quarterback to a three-year contract earlier this month.
In fact, Pace has been a Glennon fan since the quarterback was at North Carolina State and Pace was working in the Saints personnel department.
"I've liked Glennon since college," Pace said this week at the NFL owners meetings in Phoenix. "We would talk about him all the time in New Orleans, obviously through the draft process but also, hey, was there ever an avenue to trade for this player? And honestly those conversations continued with me when I got to Chicago because he has a lot of the traits that we value.
