Glenn's on his last 'run' as a player in the NFL..., even if he signs the agreement, he's got $500K in his bank account and he'll be healthy..., probably! The Boys were fine without Glenn last season and will be this year.

glenn is a guy who prolly should of retired a couple years ago...he might have another year in him but as of now he is doing to his career in my oppinion what jerry rice did at the end of his career, he is hangin around too long for nothing. If he wants to be a fourth WR sign on and hope the rest of the team can win a ring. or else retire

He should sign the settlement and retire after the season.

Glenn needs to realize his career is coming to an end.....and sign the waiver
It was a great trade to get him from Green Bay for a 6th rounder
And speaking of pieces not falling into place, I cant believe Greg Elllis is complaining over practice snaps. that is ridiculous

I love Glenn. He is a stud when healthy. However he needs to wake up and smell the coffee. I can understand players wanting to keep playing beyond what their bodies allow, but multiple surgeries on your knees really dampens one's ability to play.

I agree that he needs to sing the settlement and get out there for what is probably his last shot at a SB ring.

Good blog.

Brown Magic is a smart dude. SI should sign him up to write for them

dallas looks good i think they will make the superbowl and i think it will be mostly without glenn as an impact. The cowboys do need a better second reciever then clayton, a faster one would be nice. If i were glenn i would take it he is on his last legs

i still think though there is maybe 50 catches in glenn which would be good at 3rd reciever but is that wort 1.74$ mil

Very well written. Good work
You are right, but, we are talking about 1 million here. In that business that is " chicken feed." They should have him do what he thinks is best for him, play him, and any help he gives them is a bonus...For that kind of money, just play him. If he goes down, pay him and move on. Not worth the hard feelings it " may " cause with other players on the team. With the rift that is coming between the owners and the players and the agents and the next contract, one million is cheap for the good will it may buy.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Raymond. You are too kind.

I think the cowboys should almost part ways because the production you will get from glenn is minimal and can be done by a young wr on the team already, plus you are taking a roster spot from young players who could probably contribute more than glenn at this point in his career.

Good piece Brown Magic! As much as I love Terry Glenn, sadly he is at the end of his career and needs to be thinking more about retirement than the risk of being injured again, which is more likely than not! Take the money and run, that's your best (only) option at this point!

If I am Terry Glenn I do as he has done already....keep working out, and only show up for practice when you have to.

Heck, I would not be suprised to see Dallas limit his reps in practice all season long (which is a good idea fyi).

This is Glenn's last shot, b/c another injury here, at his age, ends it all for him.

I like Terry, and with him, TO, Witten and Crayton on the field all at the same time, it will drive defenses batty trying to cover each guy.

Lastly, I cant blame the Dallas brass for attempting the buy out as well....

The last thing Jerry wants to do is pay anther 1.7 million to a guy riding the oak all season long b/c he tore his knee/leg up again during practice of all things.

Even if Terry Glen's knee were to hold up the entire season I don't see him being able to get on the field much. With his age and limited play last year I would question putting him on the gameday roster. I would save that spot for someone who can contribute more on special teams.

Glenn is done and needs to leave with class. I would sign the papers and be glad to play. H

He's body can only take so much and he will be limited no matter what. I would take what I could get at this stage of his career.

We didn't need Glenn last year? I call bullsh*t on that. We could have used a healthy Glenn when we lost to the Patriots. They were doubling TO and Witten. Craytons good but only as a third receiver. Not to mention the other two regular season games that the Cowboys lost. You guys forget how awesome Glenn was before he had the knee injury! He was better than TO during the first year that TO was with the Cowboys! Besides...If I was Glenn, I probably wouldn't sign that settlement, ether. I probably we see it as a slap in the face, too. It's not like he was sitting on his ****, last year. Are they going to pull that stunt with every Cowboy that gets injured? However, I can see how Jones see things. Bur I really want to see if Glenn can get near as good as he was before the injury! Because, if he can...That would be like having to TO on the field...Plus, you have Witten and third receiver Clayton. I, at least, want to see. I hope both Jones and Glenn will be able to compromise and get something worked out!

How can Glenn see it as a slap in the face. He was one of the highest paid players last season, and for what? A total of 4 snaps during the regular season. I didn't see him complaining when he made over 5 million last year for those 4 snaps. Oh sorry, I forgot, he did have one reception in the playoffs didn't he? I like Glenn and would love to see him come back strong, but he needs to just sign this settlement and be thankfull that he still has an opportunity to play. What other team in the league would take a chance on signing him at this point in his career?

I don't really care if Glenn signs now or if he waits until he realizes that he has no choice; sign or don't play. If he wants a shot at a ring, he'll sign. If he doesn't then I hope he enjoys being released into retirement.
