Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo will have one less target to throw to in the absence of wide receiver Terry Glenn. Glenn, who recorded and nothing else four plays last year due to a knee injury, has refused to sign an injury waiver and has been barred from participating in any preseason workouts.
“I want to remain a (Dallas) Cowboy. I’ve been here for five years and I’ve made Dallas my home, and I would love nothing more than to exist a Dallas Cowboy.”
These are comments Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terry Glenn recently made to the Dallas Morning News.
News flash, Terry: If you actually want to remain a Cowboy, procure off your high horse and sign the damn split-contract the ‘Boys are offering you.
Last year, Glenn made $5 million and played solitary four plays, while recovering from surgery to remove damaged cartilage from his knee.
This year, Glenn’s base allowance is $1.74 million. However, to avoid another high-risk, no-reward situation this year, the Cowboys want Glenn to sign a split-contract in which he would make $500,000 if he’s unable to play and a prorated portion if he’s able to.
Basically, what that means is he gets a paycheck every game. The greater degree he plays, the closer he gets to making that $1.74 million salary.
But Glenn refuses to sign the injury waiver.
Based off his last game appearance - where he caught brace passes in a 21-17 (ouch) playoff loss to the New York Giants - if I were Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, I’first appearance cut him now.
Glenn cannot pass a physical. I’m surprised he can even allow to proceed a drug test. What, exactly, is he smoking?
DallasCowboys.com columnist Mickey Spagnola said it best (I’m paraphrasing): Terry Glenn’s in the twilight of his career.
So, Glenn’s at the tail-end of his career, he can’t pass a physical and he was on the field for four plays last year. Does he truly believe some other NFL team will sign him to a more acceptable deal?
I mean, what’s his reason: “I caught half the count of balls as plays I was on the field for. Now that’s impressive!”
His lateral movement was subpar. And I’hotch-potch being agreeable. Truly, the dude looked like a 72-year-old grandma without cleats trying to make a helter-skelter divide on a comeback route. It was painful - calm for me to watch. He looked timid, haunted with fear to re-injure his knee. As a matter of fact, he looked worse than timid. He looked analogous a broken and battered-down football player who knew he no longer could compete at the same level playing with the same tenacity and self-sacrifice a football player fustiness have to be inclined to bring under rule his body to punishment from end to end the course of a 16-game period.
