Not a bad trade at all, but I guess that all depends on if you get the healthy player or the constantly injured player.
Bengals 1st Rounder (12)
for
Bills 1st Rounder (21)
OT Cordy Glenn (3 years of control 3/23 million)
Glenn is an above average LT in the league when healthy, but he has only played in 17 games the last two years due to foot/ankle/back injuries. Last year he had foot/ankle surgery.
The Bills will save about 4.5 million this year on the cap if they trade him prior to the 2nd or 3rd day of the start of the new NFL season. They will also save a workout bonus if they get rid of him before then as well.
There have been trade rumors swirling around Glenn last year and especially this year.
He is only 28, under control for 3 years, is a good LT when healthy. The Bengals are not willing to spend huge bucks on FA's, but a trade may be more up their sleeve. This also does not cost them any draft picks, but would push them down to the 20's, where they seem more comfortable drafting anyways.
Grab Cordy Glenn for LT
Draft C Billy Price at #21 (I think he will be a good C in this league, even Pro-Bowl caliber)
Then may have to trade up a bit, but go after DT Tim Settle from VT in Round 2.
OL somewhat refixed. DT interior added to with a big dude with good agility.
So both lines get a fix, the way to build a team, from the inside out.
