Glenn has three years remaining on his contract and here are each year's cap hits (dead cap in parentheses):
2018: $14.45 mill ($11.1 mill)
2019: $12.45 mill ($6.4 mill)
2020: $12.7 mill ($3.2 mill)

With the Bengals already pretty much writing off any big-money FAs from the outside because they are hoarding all the cap for Dunlap, Atkins, and Dennard, I'd be a little surprised if they'd be willing to take on this high cap hit for a guy coming off multiple injuries the past two seasons.

I could be wrong, but if traded, the team trading him takes the cap hit of any bonuses paid already and deferred. New team is only on the hook for the remaining contract as the reason all of that dead money is because they gave him huge bonus so they could push cap over 6 years or life of the contract.
