Just read on rotoworld.com that the Cowboys may release Terry Glenn and Miami is likely to pick him up. He's an upgrade for us if he's healthy but that is a big "if".
He's an upgrade over Hagan and Camarillo sure if healthy. But he's aging and gimpy so he'd be at best a #2 but likely a #3 WR. Not someone I'd trust to help out a rookie or young QB but someone who can be a complementary WR to a real #1 WR.
id take him. our recierver corps suck. no faith in hagan at all, cant believe we have to discuss a wr on these boards who can't do the first thing in his job description, catch the f'in ball.
Glenn has to qualify for AARP. lets see what our young guys have before bringing in some senior that has his best games behind him. thats just me, I think youth is the way this team needs to go.
I agree we need to go youth but you need veteran leadership. On our current eighty man roster, we have ten wide receivers. Five are rookies and no one has more than 5 years of experience. We need Terry "she" Glenn to mentor Ginn and other receivers. If he stays healthy (I know big "if"), he could be a valuable to our young guys.
I'm not sure I like what Glenn brings to the table...I would rather let our coaches coach...that should be more than enough for our young guys. in my mind. If we have good coaches, we really don't need Glenn.
He is the perfect mentor for Ginn. Heck, I'd love to have him on the staff instead of the roster. lol.
I will take him. Se I mean he is better then any one else we have a 3rd wide reciver. Enless we keep John Dunlap he will be the best
Your right, let the coaches coach up our players...on the sidelines and in the film room. You also need a mentor on the field. You want every advantage you can get and if you have a group of young guys especially one that you recently drafted and is compared to this receiver on the market, you want him in here. Show him the ropes and show him how to play the game right. Not too long ago, Glenn was a good player. He may not be as good now as he was then but can still do what is asked. We may not need Glenn but there no wrong doing in bringing him in and helping out. You never have enough quality mentors.
i personally don't want glenn here and alot of it probly has to to with him being injured and starting to get up there in age. if we are going to bring in a reciever that is better than hagan/wilford i would rather go make boldin happen..he's younger,healthier and would be a better fit for us. ginn,ab,wilford,ricky(great recieving skills),ronnie(see ricky)..mmhm i would love to see any team put 8-9 in the box with that setup and it will only help beck progress..give this kid some talent in the recieving department. marino had the marks brothers,peyton has r.wayne and m.harrison,bradshaw had some great recievers as did montana,farve,elway..we should do everything we can to allow beck to be a succesful qb and we have already started that by building a line in front of him and a very promising backfeild so why not add talent to the recieving core if we can get away with it.
Good point...I'd rather wait and see who gets released, and pick up a veteran at that point. If i'm not mistaken, Glenn has been pretty injury prone.
You are correct, he has been injury prone. I'd be surprised if we see anybody else signed other than Glenn.
Terry Glenn a Dolphin? http://www.palmbeachpost.com/blogs/...olphin.html?cxntfid=blogs_inside_the_dolphins
Bingo, My heart tells me Glenn will be a Dolphin, even though I would rather take the wait and see approach.
What I wonder now is that if this will expand the rosters we keep on our roster. We were probably going to keep 4 on the roster. With this, I think it may go to five or six. Bess, Camarillo, Hagan, Wilford, Ginn and Glenn.
The difference here is that Boldin would come with a very hefty price tag (a high draft pick and a relatively high salary). I agree with sethdaddy; Glenn is a cheap "Parcells" guy. If the price tag is right, bring him in to compete for a spot on the 53-man roster.
Cuts are gonna be here before you know it, and i'm sure there will be some good players to look at. I really question the roster spot Glenn would take more than his lack of talent. the best way for young guys to do that is playing time.
Glenn has been cut http://cowboysblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2008/07/no-deal-for-glenn.html at the bottom under "update" if we don't get boldin, then i hope we go after glenn he would be good to sign a 2 year deal with a team option after the first year.
I'd have to be convinced first that some of our young receivers are worth keeping around, and looking good in limited action or OTA's doesn't do that for me. I'd bring in Glenn, and if our young receivers show themselves capable of possibly being an intricate part of this team in the future, then you can always cut Terry.
He is a HUGE if. His knees are in bad shape and that, aside from hands, is the worst injury a Wide Receiver can have.
I don't think he's much of an upgrade for us at his age and injury issues...if he was still good, wouldn't the 'Boys still want him ??? I just don't see him as that much of an upgrade and potentially lose a young WR that might develop into something, whomever that be...
Expand the list of the players at the wideout spot you plan on keeping. Move it from four (likely) to five or six. You keep the young guy(s) and you still pick up a mentor.
If we do that another postion is gonna suffer because of it. we also have some young defensive players we really need to look at I agree with larry if glenn had much gas left he would still be in Dallas.
I dont have a problem bringing glenn in here. He's still a serviceable receiver, we definately need more of those on the roster. Plus he's going to come with experience and can help along our young guys. Im all for it. I like the sounds of this... Ginn Jr. Glenn Wilford Hagan Bess
Glenn would make our receiving corps better instantly and he should be a Dolphin within two days (no source just how I feel). He would also help Ginn and other young receivers like a Davone Bess to make them better players.
Yeah, if you've been following that whole little drama over there with him and Jones, he wants to play. I think he's good for 3 1st downs a game EASY. If nothing else, he could mentor ginn jr. He has a great release off the line of scrimmage. He makes Chambers look like an injured tortoise if you compare their releases. He really takes off...
That will be solved in due time. Having a solid WR core which we still lack will help speed things along.
Even if he was still good, that doesn't necessarily mean Dallas would keep him. I mean, why do trades happen? Guys that get traded are still good but a lot of the time you just need to move on with different players. I'd love to sign Glenn
I apologize if this was posted, but it looks like Dallas is releasing him for sure. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3505656
i don't know if i would say he comes cheap. isn't that part of the issue in dallas? he wants more money but dallas says due to injuries he really hasn't played to the money they have already given him. i give you that it wouldn't cost us a second rnd pick(which we have 2 of so far)but the oppurtunity for boldin to succeed here is far greater and we wouldn't be looking for yet another reciever in a yr or 2 when glenn can't play either due to injury or just plain being past his prime so to speak. we don't need another david boston here(guy with great potential but can't stay on the field).
