Sign it or else!!!

The Dallas Cowboys want receiver Terry Glenn on their team.

But an NFL source said the Cowboys have told Glenn to either sign the $500,000 injury waiver for his surgically-repaired right knee or prepare to play elsewhere. And that time is growing short for Glenn’s decision.

The Cowboys are not allowing him to participate in their organized team activities or any other practice until he signs the waiver.

Terry Glenn's time in Dallas is quickly coming to an end, if he doesn't sign the injury waiver he'll be cut. Glenn will never be healthy this year, if you think he is, you're only fooling yourself, the man has bone on bone contact in his knee. The Cowboys wanted him to have the micro-fracture surgery last year, but Glenn didn't want to miss the entire season, instead Glenn got 5.82 million for four plays. I'd give Glenn 48 hours to decide to sign the injury waiver or cut him. Glenn wont pass another teams physical with that knee.

kinda sad

I had really high hopes that Glenn would have one more good season in him, and I hope he signs and is able to play. But the team is smart to do this. They are still giving him the opportunity to earn his $, but not going to hold a spot on the roster and pay him not to play, and not going to leave it unresolved much longer.

If he ends up not signing, it opens one more spot for the young comers to compete for and more playing time for everyone else (except TO).

I agree

48 hours seems like a legitimate amount of time to allow him to get his head together. I agree with scottmaui that it is pretty sad, Glenn has been a pivotal part of our offense for a while and it’s sad to seem him go; however, this is a business. JJ needs to make an executive decision to cut his liability in Glenn if he doesn’t sign.

My popcorn's ready!

I admit to my wishful thinking that TG

had a good chance to play well this season, but ironically I have the same knee condition Glenn has and I know first hand playing competitive sports on an amateur level is extremely difficult, so playing at a professional level would probably be next to impossible.

Will really miss TG play, from a purely talent standpoint, I never saw too many receivers who were better.

In Romo we Trust

This is smart

we don’t need another whining vet on our team, especially one with a slim chance of playing. Geez, the problems these guys have. I wish my boss would offer me $500k to sit and watch everyone else work.
