NFL Notes: Bears, Buccaneers, Eagles, Jaguars

Bears

New Bears QB Mike Glennon said Tuesday that GM Ryan Pace told him after the draft that “the 2017 season is my year.”

“This year is my year and I’m not going to worry about the future,” Glennon said, per Zach Zaidman.

The Bears wound up trading up to No. 2 overall and selecting UNC QB Mitch Trubisky. While that’s obviously not ideal for Glennon’s long-term future with the team, he said that he “would still have [come] here,” per Zaidman.

“They brought me here to be the quarterback this year and nothing has changed so in my mind I have to go out and play well,” Glennon said, per Zaidman.

As for helping Trubisky, Glennon mentioned that he’ll do as much as he can for Trubisky.

“Am I going to help Mitch as much as I can? Definitely,” Glennon said, per Zaidman. “But, my job is to win football games for the Chicago Bears.”
