Tyler Dunne heard Cordy Glenn "checked out" after big contract

[BillsPride12]

Something that has plagued the Bills far too long during the drought years were too many "good moral character guys" who don't get in trouble and know how to say the right things but lack the relentlessness the kind of players that want to be great and win championships need to have.

Hes certainly one who I trust with Bills News.

Him and Sal apacio are the two I really enjoy listening to/reading.  I trust him with Bills info.

I def have been a Cordy Glenn fan

 

That said....something was very strange here.....you just dont take good OLT's and trade them if you think they are going to be good for YOU.

 

That means that Glenn was going to continually be chronically injured......or there was a attitude problem......or something.   i feel like the coaching staff that got us to the playoffs for the first time in like 15 years deserves the benefit of the doubt here

[Jamie Muellers Ghost]

 not surprising there is certainly been a pattern of this over the last 3 or 4 years including guys like watkins, gilmore, etc. Glad there all gone  and that the adults in charge are smart enough to notice it

[Coach Tuesday]

Something was definitely afoot with both Cordy and Sammy during their last seasons on the roster, respectively.

 

And yes, pun intended.  There seemed to be a constant, secret fight going on between those players and the team doctors about whether they were well enough to be on the field, the result of which left both players, and the team, resenting and mistrusting each other.

 

Very, very strange.

Yeah... and also Dareus talked to someone on this forum (can't remember who), but he basically told them that he and Cordy would be dealt before the deadline. He was kind of right.

I hold Glenn no ill will. He did well for us and was solid for many years. Wish him the best.

Wow.  Ty is a very reliable reporter and I’m pretty sure he’s not just embellishing.  

Agreed.  

 

This is why any “rumors” coming from OBD should be talen with a pound of salt.   

 

They locked the leaks up tighter than the hatches on a nukular submarine.  

 

I bet donny is jealous. 

Leadership baby

You needed to hear it from a reporter? Perhaps you didn't see the picture this season where Cordy looked like he ate a small rhino.

 

Pics or it didnt Happen

On a podcast called Moranalytics (hosted by that Patrick Moran guy), Tyler Dunne talked about how he heard Cordy Glenn "checked out" after signing his big contract extension and many in the organization were more than happy to see him go.

 

I found it kind of interesting because we've never really heard that type of stuff about Glenn. He's always been said to be a quiet guy but a good teammate, somewhat of a leader on the OL. Plus, after he came off that season where he struggled with an illness, he came back for OTAs in the best shape of his life, showing his dedication to the diet and fitness plan given to him by the trainers.

I have trouble believing the substance of this (whether Ty Dunne heard this from someone or not).  The guy (Cordy) came back from a kidney transplant to play in the freaking NFL.  How much more dedication does one have to show.  It sounds like someone is trying to gratuitously bad mouth Cordy (as has happened after some of the others have departed).

 

As for Ty Dunne, he is a wonderful features writer, but I do not seem to recall him breaking a lot of stories.  I could be wrong on that, but national people like Adam Schefter and Josina Anderson seem to break many more Buffalo Bills stories than any (or at least most) of the guys that are based locally.

I heard a rumor that he had a kidney removed.

I heard he had his heart removed just like Mario & Marcel....big contracts, the end of motivation as we know it.....

That is because most of the writers based locally have shown they are more opposition press than supportive press.

Give the source or fake news.

He does look pretty freaking huge in that picture.  The fact that Beane was able to get the equivalent of a 2nd for him is amazing.  

Maybe they’ll (Bengals) play that rhino he ate at FB and get a two for one deal?

Maybe Cordy put his foot down, really wanted to play guard, and disagreed with Buddy Nix all along.

Not surprised. This falls directly in line with the toxic culture established at One Bills Drive over the past 20 (maybe 50) years.

 

We heard it from Watkins. We heard it from Dareus. Now Glenn. How many more young stars need to check out before we realize the problem starts higher up? Hopefully, McD is getting this turned around. I believe he's on the right track.
