7 years agoThe Chicago Bears officially released wide receiver Markus Wheaton and quarterback Mike Glennon on Wednesday. These moves were long awaited after both players really struggled in their only season in Chicago. Along with cornerback Marcus Cooper, the Bears will save a total of $22.5 million in salary cap space with the moves. Wheaton was injured from the get go in training camp and never fully recovered, finishing with three catches for 51 yards. Glennon was a failure under center and was replaced by rookie Mitch Trubisky after just four games and eight turnovers. Glennon could become the backup to Sam Bradford in Arizona, but he won't have any fantasy value entering the year, while Wheaton should struggle to find takers on the open market.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
