Buccaneers Not Interested In Trading Away Mike Glennon

Jan 31, 2016 3:53 PM

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are not interested in trading away Mike Glennon.

Glennon has previously been a starter at quarterback for the Buccaneers and is now Jameis Winston's backup. 

“I would hate to be in a position where your quarterback goes down for however many games it is and then you’re basically throwing the towel in, like a lot of teams did this year,” Licht said. “It wasn’t because they wanted to throw in the towel, that’s just the way it happened, without naming teams. Those were the same teams, a lot of them, that were inquiring about Mike Glennon at the time.”

Kaepernick will earn $14 million if he's on the San Francisco 49ers' roster beyond April 1st.

Colin Kaepernick Undergoes Surgery On Thumb, Knee

Jan 7, 2016 10:16 AM

Colin Kaepernick underwent surgery on his right thumb and left knee.

Kaepernick was in Colorado for a check-up on his surgically repaired left shoulder.

 

It raises the question of whether Kaepernick will be healthy enough to pass a physical on April 1, when $11.9 million of his contract for the 2016 season becomes fully guaranteed.

"Once again, I'm preparing to be healthy and win the Super Bowl," Kaepernick said in the 49ers' locker room on Monday. "That's all my focus is."

Kaepernick said increased pain and swelling in the right thumb area made him decide to get an MRI last week, which revealed a torn ligament.

Calvin Johnson admitted he's evaluating his future and whether it might be time for a change of scenery.

Johnson has four seasons remaining on his seven-year contract. His base salary for next season is $15.95 million. Johnson's contract carries a cap hit of $24 million for the Detroit Lions next season.

"Like many players at this stage of their career, I am currently evaluating options for my future," the 30-year-old Johnson said in the statement. "I would expect to have a decision regarding this matter in the not-too-distant future."

Johnson said he's not sure what the future holds after the Lions' final game of the season.

"We obviously have profound respect for Calvin," the Lions said in a statement. "And certainly understand and appreciate his decision to give proper thought and consideration to his football future."

Johnson reportedly cleaned out his locker unlike other veteran players.

Johnson also told his mother he's not sure if he wants to keep playing.

Blaine Gabbert is signed for 2016 at just $2.25 million and he expects to compete for the starting job.

Trent Baalke is not expected to use the 49ers' first round pick on either Jared Goff or Paxton Lynch.
