While the Arizona Cardinals and their fans wait for quarterback Carson Palmer to announce his return to play in 2017, another quarterback is gearing up for the opportunity to replace him.

Soon-to-be free agent quarterback Mike Glennon apparently has his sights on the Arizona Cardinals this offseason.

According to John Gambadoro on his radio show on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM on Wednesday, Glennon wants to join the Cardinals this offseason.

“Mike Glennon’s dying to come here,” Gambadoro said, noting how Carson Palmer still has not advised the Cardinals of his plans for 2017.

“If (Palmer) doesn’t come here, Glennon’s their guy,” he continued. “If Carson comes back, Glennon goes somewhere else.”

Glennon is not, though, interested in being a backup. He wants to come to Arizona, but only if he starts.

Gambadoro speculates Glennon will end up signing a contract with a team worth between $11 and $13 million a year, with roughly $22 million guaranteed.

According to Gambadoro, Glennon has been a player of interest for quite a while. The organization loves him and would love him to be Palmer’s successor.

However, that could be difficult, as Palmer is expected to return, even though he has not said anything yet. Coach Bruce Arians expects an answer soon and with Larry Fitzgerald returning, it would seem clear he was coming back to play with Palmer.

Nonetheless, if for some reason Palmer decides to call it a career, the Cardinals have a player in mind who happens to want to come here. It is certainly something worth watching.
