  1. 1. Do you like the Cordy Trade?

So a dupe Glenn post.... But with a poll:)

 

Oddly, I'm shocked Bengals fans love this as much as they do. They don't seem to mind the $$, the injury, or oddest of all moving down. In fact, the like it because they were worried about reaching at 12. Man does that seem backwards. Shame they don't have any other higher picks:)

We essentially got a mid 2nd round pick for him AND dropped his salary. The amount of money we will have in free agency is SICK!

 

PS and it helps us move up in the draft to grab our future QB.

Moving from 21 to 12 is normally worth a 2nd round pick.

And so they got 2nd round pick for a way-overpriced, often-hurt, pretty good player.  I'm OK with that.  Especially if it was a pretty good player who wasn't going to be on the team next year anyway.  A second for Glenn, and the first third for Taylor.  Yeah, I'm OK with that.

The draft value chart says moving up to 12 would have cost a 2nd round pick. 

 

This trade will be hard for even the negative nancy crew to dislike.

Like I posted, the move is good because his huuuuuuge salary made him expandable since his replacement played well - and who knows if he'll play like before given his injuries. Just trading a proven starter for a pick would be bad. But salary caps, years left on contract, injuries, etc. so many factors to consider. I voted yes because of that.

It's not that odd. We've seen the Cordy Glenn Injury show for 3 years now. They haven't.

Amazing trade. For example, Texans gave up 2017 25th pick and 2018 1st round pick to Cleveland for pick 12 last year. We gave up 21 and Glenn.

I only like it if we package #12 and continue to move up to get a top QB

Sitting at #12 means that at 4 QBs most likely will go before we pick, if the reports are true about Cousins to Minny, and Miami wanting Mayfield.

(Browns, Denver, Jets are almost certainly in, and Miami might go Mayfield if he's available)

 

That's really bad if we just made that trade to not get any of the top4

very true. they are in the "what if" stages of the relationship. what if this guy is finally healthy? what if he returns to form? what if he is our lock down LT for the next decade?

A simple use of the Google machine tells a pretty accurate story.  

Dude gets paid a ton, is a bit of a reclamation project, and 12 to 21 is HUGE. 

No funny business, I kinda feel for em. To rationalize that 12 was too high a pick... that must mean they have been through the ringer. That can't be fun. That is some serious abuse

It's a good move for the ambitions of the team. It represents good value for the player. They still have to nail the next trade, the QB pick and find a long term answer at RT for me to be overjoyed at it.

 

Cordy has been one of my favourites since his rookie year, I'm sad to see him go. Hard worker, heart of a warrior, never caused a second of trouble, high calibre individual on and off the field.

i like glenn quite a bit. but i will LOVE it if we can grab one o' them there franchise QBs!

 

No kidding! Need #1 is a Franchise QB. LT is high on the list but we have a proven replacement. High cap figure makes it even easier. Anything to get the QB. Well done!
