$9.25m base + $2m roster bonus = $11.25m
$7.25m base + $2m roster bonus = $9.25m
$7.50m base + $2m roster bonus = $9.50m (They cut him and didn't pay this.)
So they ended up paying Glenn 2yr/$20.5m
Folks kinda believe what they want to believe. You don't think taking on a $30 MIL contract in 2018 is paying money for an olineman. No one's going to change your mind.
The debate started when dude said the Bengals don't pay big for oline and it's kinda morphed into "that doesn't count because..." from there. It's a story as old as time.
