Two more things to consider:
1. In a trade, you're adding a starter without factoring into Mikey's likely comp pick plan. AJ Mccarron would likely fetch a 3rd (Browns front end deal to be a bridge QB) and who knows what happens with Eifert. They'll likely keep both Smiths and Huber, so the ones that will impact looking at low-mid tier UFA's would be Bodine, Hill and anyone crazy enough to pay Minter fringe rate even. If anything, maybe Marvin uses Mikey's logic in pitching the idea back to him to let Bodine walk so they can be free to sign another UFA at LB or OL. Insane or not, it's a reality.
2. Cincy isn't a top FA destination. You could say "the Bills may cut Glenn if they can't find a deal", but who says he even signs with Cincy? Even as a cut FA that wouldn't factor into the above, Cincy hasn't historically given high guaranteed money to win a FA over. The OT market is rough, we're not the only team concerned that the best Week 1 talent may be a green draft pick over this year's FA crop.
If I'm one of those guys thinking Glenn is worth a 4th or worth waiting for, if that ankle checks out I wouldn't get cute.
