  #Bills expected to franchise tag LT Cordy Glenn if they can't work out a long-term deal by March 1, sources say. Unlikely to hit the market

Well, there's almost $14mil hit to the cap.

That's a huge piece of the pie for him.

bad move if they do ,

Well, they've said talks are going well, and his agent has a pattern of getting contracts done before the tag expires (http://bills.buffalonews.com/2016/02/27/250902/). So they could use the tag to keep him from the open market, then use the time to sign him and rescind the tag with his new contract being the one that affects his cap number, not the tag figure.

Tagging him only means that's what they'll pay him if they have to for a year, if he doesn't sign. Too early to assume he'll play out that tag.

your exactly right on , I just hope they don't over pay the guy, in 4 years he has had 2 good years none warranting a pro bowl selection so can't see him making top 5 money for his position. this team needs too many upgrades to keep over paying people on a team that hasn't made the playoffs in 16 years. If they give what money they save by restructuring and cutting others to Glenn can't see how the team got better only worse.

They can't let him go, he may not be the best LT in football, but he's good, and honestly he's the only T on this team that can play. Cyrus is a bust, Mills is awful, and Henderson wasn't a league avg starter before his health became a major concern. Like others said, tag and negotiate.

Re: Ian Rapoprt saying the Bills will franchise Glenn

At worst, Glenn is a very good LT. And very good LTs are hard to find in this league. Finding Offensive lineman has not been Whaley's strong suit. Other then Incognito (who one could argue was a Rex guy). The Bills need to do what they can to keep Incognito and Glenn. I would hate to think of what this OL would be without them.

Gotta keep the left side intact. Miller develops year 2. They need to drat a right tackle. There are several good possibilities in this draft. And they need a back-up for Wood that can fill in at guard, if needed. I am hoping this is Whaley's plan.

Agreed... based solely on Hendersons ability to come back

I think OT is in the mix at 19. However, I think the Bills may shy away from addressing OT in the 1st few rounds to be honest... I think D will rule day one.

Not really.....
Plan is he can be franchised but doesn't need to sign right away and from what I know he wont.
HAs told his agent to get this done he wants to stay in BLO........
Last case scenario is Franchise and work the long term deal and spread out the salary to leave $$$ for this year....

You are right....
OT is on the list, but they really like Jordan Mills as well but that doesn't mean they wont pull the trigger on Decker if #1 he is there and #2 the guy they really want isn't there as well.....
Very high is LB, DE/OLB specialist...

Which is sad, as the Bills are one year removed from having the #4 overall defense in the NFL.

Yea I hear that..
Still confused on what happened.
I think the biggest mistake was putting Brown in the middle....
He was much better when he was outside.....

Huh? What? He's a 3rd string tackle on his very best day.

Though I guess they liked Ed Wang at one point too.
