    $10M is the dividing line I was thinking as well assuming most is guaranteed.

    Glenn is not a $12M/yr OT.

    $65 Million, $36 Million Guaranteed.

    - - - Updated - - -

    $30 of the $36 million guaranteed is in 2016 and 2017. Heavily front loaded contract.

    $13M/yr but only a little more than half guaranteed.

    He will probably never see the 5th year money.

    Had the same thought, close to elite money.

    That contract is too rich but the way we draft and evaluate OL talent do we really have any choice but to pay it?

    2nd most guaranteed money for an OT in the NFL, 32nd most in the NFL overall.

    Always have a choice, we just may not always agree/like the decision.

    Not 100% sure yet, he's getting $19 million in 2016 and at least $11 million in 2017.

    Re: Bills sign OT Cordy Glen to 5 Yr Deal

    Good news on the signing. Front loaded to give us an option to move on if he starts to mail it in.

    Amazing how expensive some positions are. I love Cordy but he's not worth that coin. But hey, that's the going rate for a decent LT these days. And it sure as **** beats the hell out of letting him go and starve at the position yet again.

    Re: Bills sign OT Cordy Glen to 5 Yr Deal

    We can gripe about the money, but I'm just glad it got done. If Glenn hit the open market as a FA I'm sure he would have gotten something similar. There's a shortage of quality OL across the league right now, so teams are willing to pay a premium. Glenn is 26 and hasn't missed a game in the last 3 years. There are definitely worse ways to spend that money and if the Bills tried to sign someone similar in free agency they'd probably have to pay even more. And I like that the bulk of the cap hits happen earlier in the contract. That sets the team up nicely for the future.

    Re: Bills sign OT Cordy Glen to 5 Yr Deal

    Ty Dunne says its actually $60 million with the potential for $65 million based on incentives.

    - - - Updated - - -

    And only $26.5 million.

    Dunne is disputing Schefter on this.
