Despite trade speculation, backup QB Mike Glennon remains in Tampa

TAMPA, Fla. -- Backup quarterback Mike Glennon remains with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, despite offseason speculation that he could be traded during the NFL draft.

Clearly, Glennon has reached his ceiling in Tampa with Jameis Winston as the Bucs’ answer behind center. Still, Glennon boasts 18 starts since the Buccaneers took him in the third round in 2013. Tampa Bay coach Dirk Koetter knows the NC State product holds value.

“If it would have been the best thing for the team -- if the right situation was up where a trade would have been in the best interests of the Bucs, of course it would have had to [happen],” Koetter said Saturday.
