Glenn upset with Cowboys

by Mullin on May 29, 2008 11:14 AM CDT

The Cowboys did not want Terry Glenn, who played in only one game last season while recovering from a pair of knee surgeries, participating in team workouts last week.

Now, according to Glenn, the Cowboys don't want to be on the hook to pay him, either, if the receiver hurts his knee again.
Glenn told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram for Thursday's editions that the Cowboys have asked him to sign a $500,000 injury settlement. Such an agreement would free Dallas of any obligation to pay him if he cannot play this season because of his knee.

This seems kinda petty

Didn’t Glenn volunteer to avoid surgery last year so that he could try to play, with the team’s blessing? If my memory of that is correct, it seems awfully low to try to make him shoulder the financial risk now. I don’t like the sound of this.

Might be time

for Glenn and the Cowboys to part ways..

My money is on without surgery he will never be effective for a long period(more then 4 games) of time..

Terry Glenn made $5.82 million dollars last year.

And he played four regular season snaps. FOUR. From a business standpoint, as the Cowboys, you just cannot take that kind of risk again.

If Glenn were certain he was healthy enough to play, he shouldn’t have to worry.

The greatest two yard run ever!

Exactly Brandon

It is easy to side with the players all the time but asking the guy to take $500k if he can’t play seems more than fair after paying close to $6 mill last year for zero production. If he pitches a fit, cut him and bring up the young guys.

It's business, baby!!

Reached Wednesday by The Dallas Morning News, Glenn said, “I really want to play. I thought the team had confidence in what I was doing in the offseason program that I can make it through the season. But with this contract, there might not be that much faith at all.”

Have faith in yourself, if you are ready to go, there will be no problems!!
