The Cincinnati Bengals shopping offensive tackle Cordy Glenn on the trade block isn’t much of a shock — they did so before the trade deadline too.
Still, a post-combine report from ESPN’s Jenna Laine confirmed the Bengals still have Glenn on the block.
All the same rules apply as last time. Glenn had a preseason injury that led to a reported spat with the coaching staff in which he asked for his release. He was suspended and fined, they eventually — and somewhat inexplicably — got back on the field for the team late in the season.
If we want to eliminate the odd happenings last season, other reasons for zero trade value persist. Glenn has struggled with injuries for years, has a $9.5 million cap number, will turn 31 in September and had similar injury-chemistry problems in Buffalo before the Bills were happy to unload his contract via trade.
Cincinnati throwing Glenn on the trade block again is smart business. But there doesn’t figure to be any sort of return until the team up and cuts him, freeing up cap space.
