Terry Glenn Should Be Dropped

by Cowboys

Terry Glenn’s refusal to sign a $500,000 injury waiver is a slap in the face to a team that paid him $5 million this past season for four plays. His refusal to sign the agreement shows he’s out for greed. And the Cowboys ought to just let him go from the team because he’s now becoming a bad apple among a tree of ripe fruit.

Glenn told ESPN’s Ed Werder that he is not going to sign the waiver and if the Dallas Cowboys don’t want him to practice, they ought to just let him move on. According to ESPN, Glenn two doctors believe his surgically repaired knee will not cause problems for him this season. Fine. So sign the damn waiver. But Glenn is insistent and is asking for the Cowboys to let him go find a new team.

“I want who I’m playing for to want me to be playing for them. .. I will get my freedom and play for someone who didn’t talk me into postponing surgery last season and then hold it over my head the next,” Glenn told Werder.

Of course, in the same article here ESPN makes a huge deal out of nothing. Terrell Owens had a family emergency and missed the opening of minicamp. So did Ken Hamlin. But Owens’ absence is huge news for ESPN, the Dallas Cowboys hating network. This is what sucks about ESPN. We Cowboys fans have to endure this crap all year long, the network sensationalizing nothing stories into huge, front page trouble.

Tulip, you have preached the demise of everything blue and silver. You are about as convincing as a liar.

You guys are crazy! It's not like TG just sit on his a$$ last year. The guy rehabbed as hard as possible to try to get on the field.  You all get upset when a player holds out for a new contract when he already has one. Well this is the same thing. He just wants to honor the contract he has.  Jerry is trying to have his cake and eat it too.  If you want him on the team pay him what you BOTH agreed to, if not just let him go. Whatever the case, this is not TG's fault! Wake up people.

I think it's fair to point out that he received the 5M and didn't play, but that doesn't mean he was sitting at home watching TV. He was probably working as hard or harder then any other season of his life so he could rehab that knee and get back in the game to help his team win. He could have opted for the surgury and taken it easy for awhile, but he took the hard road for his team. If you were in that position, wouldn't you feel like you earned your paycheck? I'm on the fence on this one, but I don't feel like enough people recognize the fact that he 'took one for the team' last season and now is being asked to (potentially) give up money because of it. If nothing else, JJ is sending a message that Glenn should have been more selfish last season.

SHE probably will be

Don't cut him. I understand where yall a coming from but I just think that he could contribute this year. I know his knees are like glass now but there is a chance. And he won't cost much against the cap. Come on lets not throw him under the bus just yet. He did give up that surgery for the team last year.....even if it didn't work in the teams favor.

No, two years ago he had just been one of the most productive receivers and you guys signed TO.  By "you guys" I meant "the Cowboys" not you in particular. Sorry.

But Dan, even you have to admit that I've been preaching the demise of Terry Glenn since I arrived here.  Certainly I've been on record at this site mocking you for your drug-induced fantasy of having  Terry Glenn catch two touchdowns in one game in the playoffs while Owens healed his high ankle sprain. 

Tulip, I wasn't here two years ago nor was your blog. However, two years ago he was one of the most productive receivers we had.

If you guys had listened to me, you would have cut him two years ago and saved yourself some cap space.

trade him to miami! that's where he'll most likely go if released anyway... i never thought GLENN would turn out to be such a prick 5 mil for 4 plays and now he cant be a team player. i for one hope this is resolved w/ him being gone from the team.

get rid of glenn...I'm tired of hearing about him...lets just move on w/hurd, austin and the rest of the young talent we have at reciever
