Hindsight or not, was it really a fantastic deal? Sure, we picked up a name that everyone knew, who had solid experience at the LT position. However, if you reflect back to that same time period, there were plenty of voices on this very board who were wary of his injury history. Then, he did end up getting injured in the second half of the season, an injury very similar to his previous ones. Forward to the "dead zone", that time between the end of the season and free agency, plenty of us were suggesting that Cordy Glenn could have been released for minimal impact on the cap, and that money reinvested into richer material.
well until they drafted Williams glenn was definitely a need then they had the boiling issue im sure they knew about but we didn't so they pegged him as a OG... so I can understand holding on to him.
Overall using hinesight no it wasn't a great deal at the time though we only moved back a few spots in the draft and still got the Center most of us wanted. so to do that and add a Starting LT was a good deal at the time. imo. While he had injury concerns there wasn't a lot out there to go grab at the time we got him. at a time when we were all screaming for OL help they seemingly locked down 2 spots in one swoop.
But it hasn't worked out for us very much at all except that Cedric is gone lol...
