The Jacksonville Jaguars officially signed veteran quarterback and former Oakland Raider Mike Glennon to their 90-man roster Tuesday. To make room for the transaction they released veteran defensive tackle Carl Davis.
The Jags agreed to a deal in principle with Glennon last week on Friday as they were looking for a veteran in their quarterbacks room. It wasn’t a secret that they were very interested in Andy Dalton, however, when he signed with the Dallas Cowboys the Jags had to look elsewhere.
“Mike is entering his eighth season in the NFL and will bring vital experience into our quarterback room and make us a better football team,” said Jags coach Doug Marrone on the team’s official site Friday. “We want to be as strong as possible at every position.”
Glennon, who will be entering his seventh season, has accumulated 22 career starts, a 60.9% completion percentage (488-of-801), 5,163 passing yards, 36 touchdowns, and 20 picks. He initially entered the league as a third-round pick (No. 73 overall) from the 2013 NFL Draft for the Tampa Bay Bucs.
As for Davis, the Jags signed him back in November of 2019. They re-signed him early last month after he played in two games and registered a tackle for them last season.
