The Cincinnati Bengals have traded for a quality starting left tackle in former Bills lineman Cordy Glenn.
The news came as quite a surprise and Bengals fans were mostly thrilled. Seriously, nothing has made us excited on the day that free agency legal tampering starts in as long as I can remember.
The reactions were great and came in quick and with hysterics. Here are some of the best reactions to the Bengals trading for Glenn. Leave yours in the comments section!

Clint Boling and Cordy Glenn played together at Georgia from 2008 to 2010.

Boling played LT while Glenn played LG. For the Bengals, it'll be swapped.
The #Bills take a $9.6M dead cap hit but clear $4.85M in 2018 cap by trading OT Cordy Glenn to the #Bengals. Cincy acquires caps of $11.25M/$9.25M/$9.5M thru 2020.https://t.co/aRI2RhzJ2S

Awesome! Bengals needed a Quality starter at Tackle after letting Whitworth walk. Great for Mixon and Dalton to block and protect. Swapping 1st rd is good compensation for getting a quality starter. Hopefully a OT slides to pick 21 #whodey

Excellent trade. We also trade back in the 1st Rd to grab another linemen. Glenn can hold things down for a couple of years until we find the LT of the future. #WhoDey Great job @Bengals

The Bills and Bengals have been paling out ever since Andy Dalton and Tyler Boyd sent the Bills to the playoffs for the first time in 15 years.

The biggest loser in this trade: Cedric Ogbuehi.

Not Resigning Pac-Man and following it by above average acquisitions... it’s like they are trying to put a good product on the field #Puzzling https://t.co/FGbrJWNouG

Glenn would have made a lot of sense for Indy too. Good pickup for Cincy. @CincyJungle https://t.co/hc8tBBfAcA

Good for both. Bills continue to work on moving up to get their QB. Bengals get a good deal on a quality LT that has had some nagging injuries, but is still a good player and will step in day 1 and play his ass off.

Here’s how it all evens out, if you buy into this...
On the traditional chart, they went -400 in the first, +8 or so in the 5th, -392 is roughly equal to pick 51 in the draft. By the traditional chart, they gave up a 2nd rounder of value. https://t.co/ukCN6XMUoq

This is largely how Bengals fans feel...
Holy shit we've made a trade. Welcome to the NFL Bengals fans. https://t.co/CxRmPTuKDZ

But then again, there are always some people who are just perpetually mad.
There are fans who actually think the #Bengals shouldn't have made this move LOL... https://t.co/A32G3t7O47
