membengal Posted March 12, 2018 Report Posted March 12, 2018 Apparently! I will assume this was Mike Brown's long plan to "in your face" COB for his post an hour ago. As near as I can tell, they swapped places in the first round. Seeing confirmation from the Enquirer beat bengals beat writers... Quote
COB Posted March 12, 2018 Report Posted March 12, 2018 Holy smokes! If he can get healthy, he'll be a huge upgrade over Cedric. The Bills must think one of the 4 QBs will be there at 12. We drop from 12th in the first down to 21st pick. I really hope this works out. Quote
cincyhokie Posted March 12, 2018 Report Posted March 12, 2018 Good move by the Bengals. And very surprising. The Bills have the 12th and 22nd overall pick. My guess is they are not done. They'll probably try and move up again into the top 10 to get their QB. Quote
GapControl Posted March 12, 2018 Report Posted March 12, 2018 Really great move. Never thought it would happen. I still think the bengals need to draft two more OL. A center and another OT. Quote
GapControl Posted March 12, 2018 Report Posted March 12, 2018 I’d take one of the top 5 Gs after C too. Quote
ShulaSteakhouse Posted March 12, 2018 Report Posted March 12, 2018 Hmm, he's had some pretty significant injury issues the last 2 years, but, I guess I'm not going to complain about being proactive and trading for a starter. Prior to 2016 he was super solid. Is the 1st round swap confirmed? Quote
GapControl Posted March 12, 2018 Report Posted March 12, 2018 Yes the swap is confirmed. When healthy Glenn has been one of the more reliable tackles in the league, earning overall grades of at least 82.3 every season for a four-year stretch from 2013-2016 (he put up a 68.1 overall grade in just 275 snaps last season) and finishing each of those years ranked within the top-17 among all NFL tackles in terms of pass blocking efficiency. https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/2018-nfl-free-agency-updates Scroll down to see Glenn Quote
GapControl Posted March 12, 2018 Report Posted March 12, 2018 Cordy Glenn | Tackle | #77 Team: Cincinnati Bengals Age / DOB: (28) / 9/18/1989 Ht / Wt: 6'6' / 345 College: Georgia Drafted: 2012 / Rd. 2 (41) / BUF Contract: view contract details Share: RECENT NEWS Bills LT Cordy Glenn (foot) is on track for OTAs. Glenn spent the final five weeks on IR with lingering foot/ankle issues. There's rumblings Buffalo could move on from him, but Glenn should be healthy for the start of their offseason program. Glenn has three years and $23M remaining on his contract. Jan 19 - 6:24 PM Source: buffalobills.com Quote
AMPHAR Posted March 12, 2018 Report Posted March 12, 2018 Shocked and happy they are being proactive. Hope it works out. Quote

Kazkal Posted March 12, 2018 Report Posted March 12, 2018 Bengals seem to have better luck later in the draft and if he can stay healthy we get a good starter so I'd say it's a solid trade. Quote
Stripes Posted March 13, 2018 Report Posted March 13, 2018 The first round might be Marvin's worst, so I am fine with dropping nine slots. I saw Glenn had been traded in a headline earlier today and had no idea it was the Bengals. I never imagined it could have been. They never do anything interesting. 1 Quote
AMPHAR Posted March 13, 2018 Report Posted March 13, 2018 Picked up on this from another board. Cordy and Clint Boling were teammates at Georgia. Wonder how many snaps they took together playing side by side? Wonder if they were best friends? I wonder if Whitworth will be jealous? Quote
GapControl Posted March 14, 2018 Report Posted March 14, 2018 Yeah I saw that too. Boling played LT and Glenn played LG. Weird. Atkins was also on the team I think. Quote

COB Posted March 14, 2018 Report Posted March 14, 2018 Odd that Glenn and Boling have traded positions since college. I wonder if Mike has awoken from the very long nap that followed the flurry of activity required to pull off this trade? Go Mike! (to the can right after you wake up). 1 Quote
TJJackson Posted March 14, 2018 Report Posted March 14, 2018 I'd argue that this trade could be pulled off BECAUSE Mike was napping (to build up strength to take the Lumina in for the oil change) and ergo did not interfere with much-needed business 1 Quote
AMPHAR Posted March 14, 2018 Report Posted March 14, 2018 Still plenty of blame for Mike because this move is just digging out of an all time blunder by letting Whit walk although they did get a 5th round comp pick. Although before the injury, I remember Cordy getting pumped up to be the best LT in the AFC over Whit and Thomas so there’s that, I guess Quote
ArmyBengal Posted March 22, 2018 Report Posted March 22, 2018 I always liked Cordy Glenn and remember hoping the Bengals drafted him. I think this presents as a huge upgrade to the o-line IF he is healthy. Not a fan of foot injuries with the big guys. Moving down from 12 to 21 ?? Yeah, not a huge fan of that either, but this could pay off huge if he's back at 100%. Quote
