Kevin Glenn's Days As a Winnipeg Blue Bomber Are Numbered

It was reported Wednesday on TSN that the Blue Bombers intend on trading former East Division MVP Kevin Glenn.  New boss Mike Kelly has reportedly told Glenn that they are shopping him around to other teams and have asked where he would like to end up.

This news comes at the heels of a trade earlier in the day that saw the Bombers acquire Quarterback Stefan Lefors from the Eskimos in exchange for a second-round pick in this year's draft and a conditional pick in 2010. 

Lefors comes to Winnipeg after spending last season sharing backup duties with Jason Maas, however Lefors in 2007 started the final five games of the season for the Eskimos and played well,  throwing for 1,193 yards and six touchdowns.  He was a former fourth round pick of the Carolina Panthers and played his college ball at Louisville. 

As for Glenn, he has been the Bombers starter since taking the job from Khari Jones in 2004 and steadily improved every year, and took a huge step in 07 throwing for over 5,000 yards and a 93.2 QB rating and guided the Bombers to the Grey Cup game.

However, things took an awful turn for him the the East Final as Glenn broke his arm in the second half and the Bombers were forced to go with first timer Ryan Dinwiddie in a Grey Cup loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders. 

Glenn never appeared to be the same this season; his numbers from 07 dropped significantly, throwing for 3,675 yards with 20 interceptions. 

It is uncertain where Glenn will end up, but if they are gonna deal Glenn, they will likely trade him for another quarterback.

Printers, who is on the outs in Hamilton, could be a strong candidate; Michael Bishop who is out in Saskatchewan is another logical choice.

Where this leaves Ryan Dinwiddie and the rest of the Bombers is unclear but if Glenn is traded it is likely that the Bombers may just cut ties with Dinwiddie and perhaps also Brian Randle. The Bombers have far too many quarterbacks on the team right now. 

I look for the Bombers to perhaps package a deal with Hamilton or Saskatchewan in order to get rid of Glenn and get another premier quarterback on the market.
