DJB Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) https://www.rotoworld.com/football/nfl/player/1620/cordy-glenn Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official website believes the team will release LT Cordy Glenn. Glenn is headed into the final year of his contract, and the Bengals can clear all $9.5 million in cap space by cutting him with no dead-money absorption. Glenn battled concussions last and played in just six games. He'll be entering his age-31 season. Glenn can still play at this level, but the Bengals are ready to move forward with 2019 first-rounder Jonah Williams at left tackle after he missed his entire rookie year. Bring him back home to play RT? Edited February 27, 2020 by DJB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeAndy Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 He talked a bunch of crap after he was traded and has a boatload of injury issues. Hard pass 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 If the Bengals can’t use him at RT, I don’t think he’s a fit there. Maybe at G but he’s never healthy. I believe the Bills didn’t like how he approached his rehab when he was here so I’m pretty sure they won’t bring him back 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I liked Glenn, but as stated above, too many injuries. Only if he took the league minimum and at best after week 1 so we can cut him with no repercussions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

947 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 He's definitely getting released, makes way too much sense for the Bengals not to. I think he's a guy who'll get picked up in the 3rd tier of FA & get a 1-year deal. Doubtful it'll be us, but I'd be ok with it on a 1-year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't underestimate Buffalo’s ability to sell players on their wellness facilities, which are possibly the league's finest. Just look at a guy like Mitch Morse, who missed 14 games over 2 seasons in KC. Comes here, deals with the same type of bumps and bruises and concussions, but doesn’t miss a single start. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorkScrewHill Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Glenn, Watkins, Dareus, Tyrod - all big name guys here in Buffalo back when they were traded .. and each on there second team or soon to be with reduced pay along the way. Of them, I wouldn't mind getting Tyrod (as a backup) back at some point and Glenn was always a stand-up guy .. due to injuries he would need to be cheap. Overall it looks like the Bills FO made the right call on these players. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes .. in the playoffs, but as stated he is on his second team. In the regular season he only had 673 yards which is 100 yards less than Cole Beasley as an example and the Chiefs have made it clear that while they would like to keep him it will not be at his current salary. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes, he’s got the highest cap number for any WR in the NFL. It makes sense to reduce it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are other factors with this. Watkins gets picked up by some of the best offensive teams because he is a threat. Dareus got traded for by a team that almost made the SB. They are now older and not worth what they were. But this happens all the team. for instance, some of the young players on our roster will be given a second deal that would make them way more expensive than they are now. For instance, take Dawkins. He will get a really big payday that years from now he will be either asked to re structure or he will be moved. It’s the way of the nfl when guys make good Money.

Been on top 3 offenses every year since he left, made the playoffs every year, and was their best playoff receiver during a SB run. I wonder if Reid regrets it. as for Glenn, there are too many injuries. Very good player for us but he would have to be super cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
