Mike Glennon’s Salary & Net Worth

Every sport has that playing position that mints more than all others and for American football, it is the quarterback, the position that Glennon has been playing since high school.

However, many eyebrows were raised in 2017 when news went around that Mike Glennon could be earning as much as $15 million as his total annual salary.

The news put him in the spotlight with many picking up interest in him. Online vitriol was not left out as some people took to social media to compare Glennon to perceived better quarterbacks with more starting experience who were not earning close to Glennon’s salary.

Until that time, Mike Glennon was not a big name in the NFL, hugely because he had not quite earned a spot as the starting quarterback for the team he played for, thus, people wondered why he deserved such a huge pay rise.

However, after investigations, some folks got to see reasons why Mike Glennon who had done an excellent job as a backup quarterback for the most part of his career could be well worth the money.

Following the expiration of his contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Glennon, as a free agent inked a 3-year $45 million deal with the Chicago Bears in March 2017.

The team would later name him their starting quarterback. Before striking the deal, Glennon earned about $7 million as salary with the Bucs, making him the league’s highest-paid backup quarterback.

Unfortunately for Glennon, the masses turned out to be correct about their opinion of him. The Bears admitted they had lost the gamble as he was cut on March 14, 2018, after just one year with the team. He was replaced with the freshly drafted Mitchell Trubisky.

However, Glennon walked away as the winner, money-wise,. Making up that $19 million was a signing bonus of $3 million, $5 million in roster bonus, and a base salary of $8 million. Incentives and bonuses guaranteed another $2.5 million. He earned all that from 4 appearances.

Two days after he was released by the Bears, Mike Glennon inked a two-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals worth a mere $8 million with only the $4 million signing bonus as the guaranteed money.

His deal with the Cardinals has a base salary of just $1 million with a cap hit of $2 million. Glennon’s deal with the Cardinals has the potential to stretch to another two years, depending on the team’s level of satisfaction.
