Dallas Cowboys to waive Terry Glenn

PrintUPDATE: Jerry Jones announced that the Cowboys will waive Glenn. They are not closing the door on the possibility that he will rejoin the team down the road, but they don't want to risk him reinjuring the knee while rehabbing on their dime. Glenn will also be free to sign with another team. Much more to come.
Well, that's it then. It will be sad to see Glenn leave. I really enjoyed watching him play, not just for the Cowboys but all throughout his career as well.
It was a very odd day as the Cowboys began camp, mostly in part to shotty reporting by ESPN. I plan on doing a piece later this weekend on Glenn and his time with the Cowboys. While we wait for Grizz's first practice report feel free to discuss your favorite TG moments.
Hat tip to bigdogarita for his Fanpost, and to WB3forMB3 for breaking the news in the comments.

Kind of knew for a year now this was coming
after Terry declined to have Micro fracture surgery last year
I bet you're right
even if TG is not 100%, I can see BP signing him to have one of his guys around and to help teach the younger players. Frankly, I don’t see anyway that TG is even close to being okay or the boys would have worked something out.
Well at least we can use his roster spot on another WR
TO, Crayton, Hurd, Austin, Stanback makes 5.
Let the battle for #6 commence.
T-New, shutting down WR's for Dallas since 2003
Knew that was going to happen
Time to move on
TO
Crayton
Austin
Hurd
Amendola
Stanbach
Are the active 6 going. I wouldn’t count out Jefferson making a push
Look up... get up...Don't ever, ever give up!!
Amendola might make the PS
I like Mark Bradford better than Amen boy
TO
Crayton
Austin
Hurd
Bradford
Stanbach
No way Amedola goes to the PS
Amendola would get snatched up in a NY minute. If anything Bradford would be on the PS. Alot of teams wanted Amendola before he decided on signing with us. Amendola has that speed and quickness we need.
Look up... get up...Don't ever, ever give up!!
how do you figure that
If Every team want him, they had a chance to draft for seven rounds and chose not to, he’s not that valuable. You based this on what, OTA’s, running against air.
He is quick
but not fast. He has an uphill battle considering that not only other WRs are already ahead of him in experience and with better physical gifts, but El Gato as well.
Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig loves it.
A shame, but not a big one
The Cowboys clearly don’t think Glenn is healthy, and I’m not in a position to disagree with them. It’s sad, but I think Glenn is done. This also increases the chances of being able to keep Amendola and Stanback, if indeed they are worth keeping. I’m sure Jerry will throw one last hail mary on the trade front. I think it would be worth making Arizona an offer that made them hesitate for Boldin (first and third round picks?) . I know it’s a risk but I say load up now if it makes a Super Bowl significantly more likely, and Boldin would fit under our cap right now.
Amendola in?
Undrafted WR Danny Amendola beat CB Alan Ball by a step on a go route and went airborne to snag a slightly overthrown pass from Richard Bartel. The ex-Texas Tech WR, who might not be the next Wes Welker but should have an NFL future, was perpendicular parallel to the ground when he caught the ball.

"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin

WTH
perpendicular parallel to the grounddoes that mean haha. He should look those words up
What the French?! Toast!
LOL
Nice catch Bigham, I’m trying to imagine it. Maybe half his body was parallel and the other half was perpendicular.

Sorry to see him go
I suspect they are more convinced than before that they have a decent player on the roster to back Crayton up.
So long Terry. You were great when you were right.

Wow. He was cool while he was here.
Guess it’s just time to move on. Sad. Gosh, I wish we could get Bolden. What an offense to have two big fast dudes on the outside or inside or whereever.
Maybe releasing Glenn signifies the faith of Garret & Co. in the younger guys. Stanbuck may bust out earlier than expected. You never know.
That #38 sure can hit!
hopefully
someone busts out and steps up. crayton is the known commodity. and austin has speed. but i’m really hoping hurd and stanback can give us something. for some reason i just like those guys. maybe it was hurd’s big play on opening night. or all the potential surrounding stanback coming out of the draft. but i’ve got my eye out for those two….
later t.g. i enjoyed watching him play...
and everyone said he was a quiet but hard working guy….maybe there’s a chance we get him back at a discount…..but i wish him the best of luck, and if he doesn’t play football again i hope his knee doesn’t give him to much pain…..once again thanks T.G.

ESPN = Enquirer
Is it just me, or is ESPN getting to be like the National Enquirer? Sure, sometimes they get it right, but just as often they are completely wrong. Leave the rumors to blogs and stick to real journalism and minimum 2 sources. It sucks bad enough that this could not be worked out, it’s even worse that it was reported that it had been.

Is it true that TG agreed to the split contract
but Jerry decided to waive him anyway? That’s what ESPN reported last night. If that’s the case why the change of heart after all that BS over the last 2 months.
Look up... get up...Don't ever, ever give up!!
It was also reported that Glenn deinied agreeing.

this just tells me the Cowboys aren't interested
in a veteran WR, that they definitely want the young WRs to develop.
Its a shame that Glenn had experienced so many injuries throughout his career as there is no question in my mind that he had HOF ability and talent, just could never stay healthy enough to stay on the field.
BTW Deke, the micro fracture surgery would have ended his career right away, not prolonged it.
In Romo we Trust
It's not an experimental surgery anymore terry
There are players in this league that had it done, the chances for success of micro fracture surgery is greater now than it was ten years ago. Terry Glenn will have to have it done to even walk without pain. If Glenn had the surgery last year when he was told he needed it, he might of had a better chance of retaining his job, because without the surgery, there was about a 10% chance of him coming back.
This team is primed for a run and you want to put your hope and faith on a seventh round pick in Crayton, two undrafted receivers in Hurd and Austin and a fourth round project, neither are number two receivers at this point, they’re unknowns. I’d hate to have our season come to an end becasue this organization continued to fail to address an issue that’s been a problem for over two years now.
I agree that would be the worst case
but truthfully, they have spent a lot at almost every position and no team is strong at every position. This was an area of want, not need. And yes, hopefully it won’t come back to haunt them.

this is too bad
i think they should have kept him for the compromized $ amount that they reached and gotten what ever they could out of him..
at the very least he would have been a great on filed tutor for the younger guys…
and if he did NOT end up getting hurt all the better….
and it’s not like the others would not have gotten a chance, i am sure they would have limited him in practice, to help save his knee, thusly giving one of the younger guys more reps..
oh well.. wonder if this is opeing the door to a trade for another legint #2 reciever??!
