Carucci: Glenn likely "odd man out" in contract extensions


Recommended Posts

I'm sure he'd get a nice offer from Carolina

exactly. There will be a team out there that thinks overpaying for such an important position is the smart move. And they may be right if they're set at the QB position, a regular playoff team, and yet also a team with a bad LT situation. Carolina is one of those teams.

These speculations are just speculations. It really is way too early to tell. For example: If Darby turns out to be a stud, Gilmore could be the one. If Mario and Jerry both drop back to OLB, Powell has stepped up, and we end up with depth at LB, it could be Bradham.

 

I would take either of these options. Glenn came back from the offseason in remarkable shape, according to all of the trainers, and our O-line is probably our thinnest position.

Is anyone starting to have flashbacks of the previous LT situation we went through with Peters? I know I am.

 

Glenn can't hold Peters jock. A loss yes.Sericeable yes., but last year and of course everyone can blame it on coaching. he was far from stellar that the Bills IMO,would ever consider tagging him. this year Should be interesting regarding him.

This is correct. We can't invest what would become a ridiculously tipped scale to our D over the O. If Darby proves he's a no. 1 corner, Gilmore could become expendable.

 

Rex's scheme (I don't think it needs elite LBs) and Whaley's seemingly very good ability to draft LBs may make Brandham expendable.

 

All this based on if Glenn proves he's at least an excellent to elite LT. We've gone through enough chaos on this oline I don't want to see the good ones get away.

 

 

Wouldn't it be nice to have a freaking elite QB to make this all less stressful. :angry:

I like Glenn but I don't think he deserves top 5 LT money. If that's what he wants, which I'm sure he does, I can understand him being the odd man out. Henderson or a pick next year would have to fit the bill

Why would Glenn demand top 5 money when he's not in the top ten? Unless he thinks there's a team willing to pay him top-5 money, but he would have to refuse us first.

Glenn is quite good and I would value him somewhere between 35 and 45 million over 5 years. That kind of contract would put him in the 10-15 range of LT money which I think is fair right now.

Cut all 5 starting OL, sign Chez Rhinerhonengarden to play all five positions.

If it were Marrone I would expect him to think that the other defenses that he was up against were playing by the "Mississippi" rule of rushing the passer.

Rex will not lose another CB if he any say in personnel decisions. It's the one position he will continue to stockpile talent at.

Agree 100%, he's not even close to Peters' level, and I don't think he ever will be.

 

Looking at the 4 players in question and their future upside, I would rate them

Dareus (already there)

 

 

Gilmore

 

 

Bradham

 

Glenn

 

Nice player, but easy to see how he'd be the odd man out if they can only keep 3.

Why? Because he can. He's a big, young tackle that's always playing, rarely if ever hurt. Someone will pay him too 5 money IMO.
