Derek Carr has a new backup.
The Raiders announced Friday afternoon they signed veteran quarterback Mike Glennon, who fills the void left when the Raiders released A.J. McCarron last week for more cap and cash flexibility. The Raiders now have Carr, Glennon and Nathan Peterman as quarterbacks under contract.
Glennon played for the Buccaneers from 2013-16, the Bears in 2017 and the Cardinals last season. He has 22 career starts – 13 came with Tampa Bay in 2013 – and a 6-16 career record in those games. Glennon’s career completion percentage stands at 60.9, and he’s thrown for 5,107 yards, 35 touchdowns and 20 interceptions.
