The Arizona Cardinals signed quarterback Mike Glennon Friday.
The deal will be for two years and worth $8 million with the upside for more, according to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
The reported news came on Wednesday minutes after the Chicago Bears released Glennon.
With the Cardinals signing Sam Bradford, Glennon would be poised to back up Bradford.
