Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 @_SportsTrust It's official! @cordyglenn77 has signed his $13.7 million franchise tender. @buffalobills Now work on that extension! CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 This is excellent news! Signing the franchise tender that quickly could mean that they know a long-term deal is close. If he wanted to, he could hold the team hostage by not signing it...glad that isn't the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Much more amicable than when Byrd was tagged. Bodes well for an extension as you noted. Yep...a happy player with a guaranteed contract in his back pocket is far more likely to sign a long-term deal than an unhappy one. The signing of the franchise tender also means that he has no interest in negotiating with other teams...not that I think too many teams are lined up to give up 2 1st-round picks for him, but still, that's positive.

I think he wants to remain a Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Much more amicable than when Byrd was tagged. Bodes well for an extension as you noted.I agree but to play Devil's advocate, he still has the right now to negotiate with other teams. The door could be open for him to shop himself around. Btw- the counter balance to this us that I highly doubt anyone gives up 2 first rounders for him. He is good but not that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Despite a deal not being worked out yet, this shows that Glenn is actually a guy who wants to be here imo. You see a lot of these players catch a case of the red arse, hold out, pitch a fit, or whatever. Glenn is in the building 3 days later signing his deal.

26CornerBlitz Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 I agree but to play Devil's advocate, he still has the right now yo negotiate with other teams. The door could be open for him to shop himself around. Btw- the counter balance to this us that I highly doubt anyone gives up 2 first rounders for him. He is good but not that good. @TyDunne #Bills still have until July 15 to negotiate a long-term deal. Also, most of Pat Dye's tagged clients ink multi-yr deals before tag expires. @pecrawleynfl Patrick Crawley Retweeted Tyler Dunne Also represents Ryan Clady, who turned franchise tag into long-term deal with Broncos in 2013 offseason.

Now that he's signed the tender, he does not have the right to negotiate with teams. He's under contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Yep...a happy player with a guaranteed contract in his back pocket is far more likely to sign a long-term deal than an unhappy one.

I am stoked Cordy is back. Hopefully, we sign Richie now! That being said- imagine a team(let's say Raiders or Jax) with a ton of cap room and a need at LT overpays for Cordy. We land 2 picks- possibly a top 5, and we free up $13.9million. We sign Schwartz to play RT, we sign Richie, we have additional cap room to add another piece or two, we draft Miles with our first pick, add a LT with our second pick, and we have two first round picks next year. Tell me that is not a great scenario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4BillsintheBurgh Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Cordy signed. Other teams can't negotiate anymore. Only us. Just a question - since the Pats* don't have a first round pick this year, would they even be allowed to sign Glenn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I wonder where he is in the picture. Probably his agent's office based on all of the jerseys Cordy is the guy sitting at the table with a pen in his hand. Seriously though, the man has a kidney removed before training camp a couple years ago and doesn't miss a snap. If only everyone had that kind of commitment. I'm looking at you, Mario. GO BILLS!!!

Peter Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Great news. The next thing that should happen is for his agent to put a framed photo of Cordy's jersey on his wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
