Mike Glennon might attract a large contract from some quarterback-needy team, but a league source said Tuesday morning it will not be from the 49ers.
The 49ers have no interest in signing Glennon to take over as quarterback, a league source told CSNBayArea.com. The 49ers had been reported as one of the teams that might pursue the Tampa Bay Buccaneers backup quarterback.
Glennon, 27, has attempted just 11 passes the past two seasons as Jameis Winston’s backup. In 2013 and ’14, he started 18 games. The Buccaneers were 5-13 in those games. Tampa Bay selected Winston with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 draft.
