Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 That's overstating it a bit. His average pay puts him 5th among left tackles, and as usual dropping down the list as years pass. He's paid as an above average LT, not as the second best lineman in the league. A single year cap hit is low in the ways I'd rank pay in the league. yes. This year, he is the 8th LT in terms of cash spent. In terms of average per year, correct, 5th.

White Linen Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I'm guessing a 3rd and a player nobody has ever heard of Of course you would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayman Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 If Buffalo gets any less than a 1rst round pick they're getting scammed. If Glenn entered the draft next year, he'd have a reasonabl;e shot at going #1 overall. Proven strong left tackle in a league always on the hunt for them. That's a bit over the top, but even assuming it's somewhat close to true, why the hell would we trade him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benderbender Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Not crazy about the idea of trading him. If they do, they need to get good value; a good draft pick and a player. Does Denver have any decent WRs they'd be willing to part with?Can we take the injured ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 He's the 2nd highest paid player on the team and we aren't getting anything from him this year. Factor in the injury issues the few years and he certainly appears to be a player on the decline. Who knows what's really happening behind closed doors at One Bills Drive but you have to believe he's on Beane and McD's radar, but not in a good way similar to Dareus. The marcel and cordy situations are not CLOSE to each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I guess they expressed frustration by making Glenn active and still starting Dawkins over him. Glenn was far from 100%, and probably should be taking a few more weeks off. I can see how that might be one small piece if there were other pieces, but it's crazy to make that assumption based solely on that, IMO. (BTW I understand you are just giving me your best guess as to why people are saying McBean are down on Glenn.) Age-wise, Glenn should be entering his prime. If he can recover from the foot injury, the Bills have a starting LT locked up for the next 4-5 years. Now, if he can't adjust to the new OL blocking scheme (of the coaches adjust to the talent of the line), then I can understand wanting to move him out. But early in the season, I thought he was adjusting as well as anyone on the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of a couple games that he rotated in this year he has been resting for over 10 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Money ball is likely the answer to ending professional sports longest playoff drought. If theres one thing that gets you where you want to go, its not paying or keeping good players and replacing them with pedestrian level trash. Lets trade Glenn now for some draft pick that we take another bust with. Maybe all of our position groups can look like our WRs and our overall depth.

zonabb Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Trade him. Get rid of players who are constantly injured and players who aren't committed. Can't win with the injured and the check cashers. Watch the Sabres. O'Reilly is useless, Okposo is useless. Moulson is useless. Can't win with 'em.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Interesting development, also some speculation on other teams that would make sense to trade with the Bills: http://walterfootball.com/nflpossibilities.php A lot of smoke around Glenn.

Formerly Allan in MD Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 They need to replace a putrid RT in menelik Watson. They could trade for Seantrel for all we know. 7th rd pick and/or a ST player probably in return. He would love to be in Colorado Why would anyone trade for Seantrel?

DJB Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Feel like this is going to be a mistake . It was a mistake trading Peters and it took us a long time to find Glenn. Don't want to make the same mistake again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
