Bears lower risk with Mike Glennon's front-loaded contract

The Chicago Bears' commitment to new quarterback Mike Glennon is basically limited to just 2017.

The official numbers of Glennon’s free agent deal with Chicago reveals that the contract contains $18.5 million in guaranteed money.

But the bulk of that guarantee is paid in year one. Glennon will earn $16 million guaranteed in 2017 in the form of base salary ($8 million), roster bonus ($5 million) and signing bonus ($3 million). Glennon’s cap number this year is $14 million.
