******* Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 With the way this team is moving I’d think he’s gone with the bonus due next Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billieve420 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 If they can trade him fine but I hope we are not cutting a talented player when healthy with a line group that is mediocre at best especially on the right side. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billspro Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I am not sure, he is a pretty affordable tackle option. If they believe he will be healthy this year I would rather keep him. I would also prefer to move him to RT and keep Dawkins at left. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebrastripes Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I don't see him going anywhere by next Friday. If anything he would be part of a draft day move up package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 When Glenn is healthy he is a top 10 LT, I'm really hoping he can make a comeback. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has already made big money, I don't see why he would care at this point. I actually think he would be an elite RT, compared to an above average LT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s a matter of money at this point but some guys are just more comfortable on one side than the other. Has ever played RT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Unfortunately, it kind of looks like he may be. It's a shame, because the Bills will be dealing him when his value is at its all time lowest. I don't really understand the desire to trade away a quality, starting caliber tackle on a good contract. IF you feel like his health problems will be ongoing, then sure, I can see moving on. But we have no indication that that's the case. If he's slated to be fully healthy for 2018, I'd much rather keep him. Seems like Beane and McDermott think otherwise, though. The writing is on the wall with Cordy. They almost sent him to Seattle last year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahnyc Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I have a feeling he will be gone soon, particularly since it seems they tried to trade him before the trading deadline last season. I would like to see him stay, more so if we are planning to play a rookie QB (whether at RT or LT). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can come back healthy and if the staff believes that Dawkins can play RT, this should be the strategy. In that scenario, all they would really need is a RG and back up center. Also, if Daboll believes in Miller, the Bills could have their starting 5 in front of them. But, how often does it work out in your favor? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davspo Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 If he is healthy keep him- could never have enough good tackles and trade value is low coming off an injury -. If they are convinced he is not healthy - move him no matter what the cost and dead money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthomas Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 The days of the LT being way more important than RT are over. With how often the defensive line rotates & DE's switch sides, the RT spot is just as important as LT. I dont know how important it is to a tackles mindset that theyre LT or RT. But I too would rather we keep Glenn at this point if he's healthy. Especially with us bringing in 1 or 2 new qb's this year. Giving them every chance at success is key. We've paid the price of not having Glenn healthy the past couple years. Hopefully his injury issues have been fixed & he'll be ready to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 From what I have seen on Sporttrac if they cut Glenn this season they only save 3.35 million on the 2018 cap. If the team cuts him in 2019 they save 6 million. So the Bills could cut Glenn in 2018 they save 3.35 million in 2018 and 6.5 million in 2019 vs. cutting him in 2019. So the question you have to ask is cutting Glenn in 2018 worth 9 million in cap space spread across 2 seasons (With only 3ish million coming right away?) I think given that Glenn is a young player at a premium position the team is much better off trying to see if he can return from injury in 2018 (esp if you have a rookie QB, protection will be key.) Now if the Bills were to trade him they do save a bit more in 2018 (4.8 million) which could honestly be a bit more attractive. But unless the Giants or another trade up partner wants Glenn as a throw-in, I don't see any significant offer coming in for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmuggs Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 He had a horrible year last year, it wouldn’t surprise me. These guys get paid and they go on permanent vacations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) I think he gets traded next week to the Giants and the Bills acquire the number 2 pick in the draft. The Giants are rebuiding their line and sign Norwell and draft an OLine guy with our #21 pick like Daniels or Hernandez and with #22 draft a RB like Sony Michel. These teams want to figure the trade out before FA Edited March 10, 2018 by horned dogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 All kidding aside...why is Glenn so disliked/disrespected by Bills fans? Im well aware of the predraft rumor Nix started but the whole first part of his career people wanted to kick him inside, make him play guard or over to RT. Then when we finally get a kid that can play LT or RT people insist he be traded. Cordy Glenn (when healthy) is an extremely good lineman. He makes the team better when he plays. If he's healthy enough to play it needs to be for Buffalo. If he's not healthy enough to play no one is going to take his salary anyways. I hope he's healthy, he stays and we reap the benefits of him playing here. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPS Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 If they intend to go with an unproven rookie at QB, then they better have 2 stud tackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndirish1978 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Unfortunately I think he's trade bait, they are trying to clear out our cap this year and looking to find space to re-sign players next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
