TAMPA, Fla. -- The Mike Glennon trade rumors have started with a report the Cleveland Browns are looking into a deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the quarterback.

Glennon is the only quarterback on Tampa Bay's roster at the moment, but trading him makes a ton of sense. Let's be really honest here. The Bucs are going to draft a quarterback -- either Jameis Winston or Marcus Mariota. Glennon's only future with the Bucs is as a backup. The Bucs can find a backup that's just as good, if not better, than Glennon in free agency.

It doesn't make a lot of sense to keep Glennon around if the Bucs can get something decent in return. I'm thinking they can get something like a third- or fourth-round pick for Glennon and they should pounce on a deal like that.

Glennon is a promising young quarterback, but he has little value to the Bucs. The current coaching staff has benched him twice -- once when Josh McCown was signed and a second time when McCown came back from a thumb injury.

Glennon has more value elsewhere. That's why the Bucs should deal him. If the Bucs can get a draft pick for Glennon, that should make everyone happy. Glennon is a competitor, and he's not going to be content to sit around as a backup.

Get something in return for Glennon, and the Bucs should be very content.
