Chicago Bears throw fidelity out the window after adulterous stunt
Perhaps the Bears are creating quarterback drama on purpose to mask the fact that their team has finished fourth in the NFC North three years in a row.

The latest drama around the Bears locker room puts the newly signed Mike Glennon in close quarters with rookie Mitch Trubisky. A young quarterback that the Bears gave up quite a bit for to move up one spot with the San Francisco 49ers and draft second overall.
What a gut punch to Glennon, who is supposed to be the starter. The team even invited Glennon to its draft party, only to shock him with the Trubisky selection.
This story can be looked at a different way, however. Glennon will receive a guaranteed $18.5 million in 2017 whether he starts one game or all 16. That is a pretty sweet chunk of change for a guy who sports a 5-13 career record and attempted only 11 passes in 2016.
Lastly, we must remember that Mark Sanchez is still in the mix. The Bears even gave him former quarterback Jay Cutler’s No. 6 jersey. If Glennon gets injured and Trubisky is not ready to play, Bears fans will be forced to see another No. 6 attempting not to throw pick-sixes.
