Bills Place Cordy Glenn on IR; Will Undergo Offseason Foot Surgery

I want to keep Glenn.  I've never been someone to hold nagging injuries against a player (except Jarius Byrd...there's just something about that guy...).

 

I really hope we're not trying to trade him for a 4th round pick. Handing talent away for nothing is frustrating. If Glen can fully heal, he will be a starting LT for possibly 10 years.

hope they can get something for him this off season. wont be much given his injury history but they need to deal him none the less.

 

useless player.

The only issue for me is the nature of his injury.  When healthy, he is a very good left tackle.  If this injury is going to be a chronic issue for him going forward, then yes, it's maybe time for him to retire.  If he just needs surgery or time to fully recuperate, then there is no reason he couldn't combine with Dawkins to create an outstanding tackle tandem for the Bills.

We have a starting LT already. A younger, cheaper, and healthier one.

OLineman with those type injuries will likely not play up to his level of the past again.

 

time to move on from him.

I think Cordy is a Bill next season, or at least part of next season.  He'll have to start a few games to prove he's healthy which should get some trade value for him.

Hope this works out, he's been durable until this season.

Let him get fixed and heal up proper. He will be a beast when he returns.

Hope your right and we do not sell low again. Finding a solid LT is not a easy chore by any means.

It would be a folly to trade Glenn.  There's no reason to do so when you don't have to pay Dawkins until after the 2020 season.

 

Move Glenn over to RT and let Mills be the swing OT.  Cut Ducasse and draft an OG to compete with Miller, and you'll go into the 2018 season with a starting 5 of:

 

Dawkins-Richie-Wood-Miller-Glenn

 

...backed up by Mills, Groy, and a rookie.

I like your plan.

With his dead money you aren't cutting him, and unless you get a day 2 pick at least I can't see why you trade him. Starting LT is about as a rare a position as there is in the league, injury risk or not.

 

If they trade him after 6/1/18 (like they did with Sammy), they'd save $11.25M against the 2018 cap (trading him prior to 6/1/18 would only save $4.85M)

Gonna be difficult to trade him with 2017 a wasted year and him coming off surgery.

just about everyone in this thread.

 

"heal him up, he'll be a beast..."

 

etc. I don't like the odds of a fat man with bad feet ever returning to form.

 

 

 

There's literally one person in this thread that said that, and if you really stretch to find something similar, you could possibly infer that one other poster said implied tangentially similar.

Yeah, it would have to be similar to Sammy where he shows well in the preseason.

In the last picture I saw of him he looked like he gained a good chunk of weight. That's not going to help a guy with bad feet/ankles and it makes me question his mind set.

 

It will be intresting to see how things play out with Cordy. A good player when healthy, let's see how much patience the staff has with him.
