Terry, how short is your memory? You are calling Jerry a jerk for slicing into the 1.74 MILLION dollars you are suppose to make this year but WHO paid you nearly 6 MILLION dollars last year for 4 plays??? Come to grips with reality dude!
The only reason you are upset is that you are also worried about your knee, if you weren’t you would sign and say, “I’ll show you!”
Think like Jerry—- You took $6,000,000.00 dollars from me last year for absolutely NO production and now you’re calling me the bad guy, well guess who is going to hold on to your rights up until the first game and then cut you so I don’t have to pay you and no one else will either. Then go sell cars for a living or flip burgers or greet folks at WalMart and see how that works for ya!
Get real and get behind the Cowboys! They have supported you, now you step to the plate for us! ....and if your knee goes you get the surgery for free and the rehab too…most Americans aren’t that fortunate! Cowboy Up

That Glenn would only be smart to sign that waiver if he knows that he will make less with another team than he would make with the Cowboys after the waiver. He has no obligation to sign it, and the amount he made last year vs. the amount he played last year is technically irrelevant. It may have something to do with why Jerry is insisting on this, but Glenn bargained for the right to get paid if he got hurt. He got hurt. It happens and it’s not Glenn’s fault.

Jerry says sign the waiver or you’ll be cut. Glenn said I won’t sign the waiver, so cut me. Unless the waiver is a hollow threat, Glenn will be cut this week. I know I wouldn’t feel too good about this situation if I played for the Cowboys, that’s for sure. Not the right message to send.

because a healthy TG would be killer this year but he doesn’t have any leverage and if he keeps this kind of crap up, he can go take his chances with Miami or the Raiders.

So how can we actually release him? I mean to qualify to be released he has to pass an exit physical, which he has already failed. So would he have to sign a waiver denying his rights for injury settlement or corrective solutions so that he could gain his release?? Maybe if his knee is still bad it would be a bargain for Jerry and an oversight on Terry’s part (since everyone seems to think the knee is an accident waiting to happen or an inevitability). Hey Terry be smart, sign the waiver….. but then again if you don’t we would add a young guy in the mold of New England’s Wes Welker (Amendola). It could be a real boon for us. Either way there’s always drama in Dallas!

is that if Terry is taking such a hard line stance to this, maybe he or his agent has already put out some feelers to other teams, to see if a) there’s a market for him and b) what his market value is. I can’t imagine a guy whose knee is just waiting to blow turning down guaranteed money unless he knew something the rest of us didn’t. That’s just my take.

i wonder if and when we’ll hear rumors of other teams possibly interested in glenn, like we always hear of the boys (and other teams) whenever a beat up veteran is released or on the bubble. what teams might be interested, assuming he is able to pass a physical at least? and if we don’t hear any, it might mean no one is really interested.

i feel bad for glenn, he’s in a bad situation. i’d love to see him go out with one more great season across from TO and winning a ring. but he and the team are just dealing with business right now. i can understand both of their positions. what we don’t know on both sides is how much is authentic and how much is negotiating bluff and bluster.

while he really wants to play more, it’s also possible that he’ll end up being lucky if his career ends here and he avoids debilitating injury that he’ll have to live with the rest of his life. if he doesn’t play of course we’ll never know whether he could have. and i would like to see him get the chance to show what he can do and give it his best shot. but it would suck if he did and his knee blew up early in the season.

btw, if that did happen, could he just have his knee replaced at that point? I don’t know much about this injury, but I do know knee replacement surgery is super advanced these days. I mean my grandfather got both his knees replaced like 25 or more years ago, and even then they worked great. Today joint replacement is routine. My dad had his hip done recently and in less than two weeks he was back out fly fishing standing in the stream. So I’m just curious, if glenn was injured, is this like something that could put in him a wheelchair for the rest of his life, or could he just get a titanium knee and live comfortably with the knowledge that at least he got the chance to give it one last shot?

The Cowboys have indicated that if TG doesn’t sign the split contract, he’ll be cut. Ok, TG has indicated he won’t sign…..so cut him now. Three reasons they should cut him now. First, it’s just one less distraction and uncertainty hanging over the team. I don’t discount this – I think the wide receiver position would be well served during mini camp and training camp if everyone knew for a fact TG wasn’t returning. Second, the Cowboys will never get anything in return for him via trade, so there is nothing to gain by holding one to him. Finally, and most importantly, this sends a message to other players (who are in a tight knit fraternity). Cut him know to at least give him a chance to catch on with another team, and you are perceived as treating him fair. Cut him after Labor Day when everyone’s roster is set, and you have effectively ended his career without giving him that last shot. It is a huge plus if Jerry Jones has a reputation among other players (not fans or the media) of treating players fairly.

Of course he wants them to cut him now. He and his agent are not stupid. They have someone out there willing to pay him more than what Jerry is offering.

Jerry is holding all the cards. Just wait until after labor day. Jerry looks like a nice guy for giving Glenn all the time in the world to decide, but he’s really just killing his options with other teams. Nobody is going to want to take a 34 year old receiver with a bum knee and no time on the practice field prior to game 1. It also give the Cowboys a little insurance. They can go through training camp and see what they have to take Terry’s place. If nobody looks better than Glenn, they can always keep Glenn with his current contract. There is also the ability to watch the waiver wire for better receivers that might get cut by other teams between now and Week 1. Bottom line, the longer Terry waits to sign this deal the worse his options look. He either takes this deal or retires.

I’m sure Jerry wants Glenn, but he doesn’t want to risk paying millions for no production…again… The Cowboys are probably trying to talk Glenn into signing and that is why they aren’t releasing him now. Glenn is at their mercy and if he stands his ground I’m sure Jerry isn’t bluffing.

Shaun Alexander was the MVP 3 years ago and he is unable to find a job. I know he looked horrible last year, but at least he showed he can play. T Glenn can’t even prove that. If I am T Glenn I sign the waiver. I don’t see Parcell’s taking a chance on Glenn waisting a roster spot. He is rebuilding and vets who are breaking down(zach thomas) usually aren’t in the plans.

We all complain when athletes already under contract cry for a new contract for more money. Now ownership is trying to back out of a contract to save some money? Jerry didn’t stop Glenn from playing last year when the Superbowl was within reach so in my opinion he placed Glenn’s knee in jeopardy by not allowing it to heal properly. Glenn knew he was making a sacrifice for the team now he just wants the team to honor the deal he already signed.

I’m sure that if he could pass a physical, ol Bill would snatch him up at a bargain. Miami needs quality receivers in the worst way.

when we don’t even know if he can play. It has nothing to do with saving money. Jerry has had no problem paying players in the past. If TG was healthy Jerry would honor his current contract. It’s just not good business paying for a player that could never see the field again. Obvioulsy, there is some major questions about his health. IMO, I don’t think he is healthly. Terry gambled on the quick fix and he lost.
