Bengals: We just traded for the 8th highest paid tackle in the league, Cordy Glenn.

Glenn seems to have an attitude problem, but when healthy and playing he is not grossly overpaid. Dre Kirkpatrick will make $9.4 million this year and would get that much or more if he was a current free agent.
If you release both of those guys you are not going to save much, if any, when replacing them in free agency.
Why do you pretend to not understand things? Just because people were happy when we traded for Glenn doesn't mean they are hypocrites for wanting him gone when he was a disappointment.
Not sure what you mean on the last sentence. We're not trying to save Mike Brown money, we're trying to replace dead weight with better players. Dre and Glenn aren't getting it done. That's $20 million we could use in free agency on players that could actually contribute, potentially.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
