Glennon May Come At a Discounted Price

The kid stands at 6-foot-7, 225-pounds and is backed by a Super Bowl Champion in Russell Wilson, his former teammate at NC State, the same NC State who went to Glennon in favor of Wilson (who transferred to Wisconsin).

Now, thanks to general managers running scared via Brock Osweiler’s failures from a season ago, this young, prototypical QB may come at a discounted price. 

What’s not to love here?

Admittedly, north of $15 million a year may too rich for my blood. But if Glennon can be had for $14 million or less without a ton of guaranteed money attached (not backbreaking), it can be the steal of the decade.

Moreover, already employing Christian Hackenberg and Bryce Petty, signing Glennon would provide that immediate semi-veteran QB that can work as the third guy. Should the Jets draft a QB, how in the world could anybody feel comfortable with going into a fresh season with three green-faced youngsters?

Somebody with at least some experience is needed as that third QB and Glennon fits the bill.

This signing would also allow New York to solely focus on the non-QB spots in the draft. This would be fantastic news in terms of building the offensive line and adding assets to the defense.

Do not be that closed-minded fan. Judge each and every QB on his own merit. They all do come in different shapes, sizes and talent levels.

Not all of them are Brock Osweiler and even Osweiler might not be Osweiler. He may just surprise everybody in year two. You never know.
