Jerry Jones said he will definitely pay T.O.'s $3 million roster bonus due in March, Calvin "Lucky" Watkins reports from the Senior Bowl.

It was certainly expected that T.O. would be back next season, considering that he was a model teammate and All-Pro in 2007. Now there's no doubt he'll be here for the last year of his contract.

Now the question becomes: Will the Cowboys work out an extension with T.O.? Jerry said he is open to getting that done.

Terry Glenn's future with the Cowboys is in doubt, however. Jerry said Glenn will need microfracture surgery on his knee, which could signal the end of the veteran receiver's career. Jerry said he will discuss Glenn's future with him soon and left it at that.

Thanks for the memories and effort Terry. It was a pleasure, I wish would we could if seen more.

Dang! Terry Glenn is done, I believe. I guess we have just about all expected it though. He's been a heck of player for the Cowboys though, even if some other franchises didn't like him much.

 

[sweetness0986]

Poor Glenn.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

I appreciate what she did for our team......good player.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Glenn is history.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

he gave it his all to come back with us, oh what could have been had he not been injured this year

I think he knows it's over given the look on his face on the bench at the end of the Giants' loss

I would love to see TO get another 3 year deal.

Hes the man!

Thanks WG.

I expect Jerry to give T.O. an extension before the season. Somewhere in the two to three year range. Owens stays in great shape and has a few very productive years in him IMO.

Terry Glenn was a model citizen as a Cowboy and the effort he put in this season trying to get back from his surgeries was valiant. However, I think his time is up and that is the cold hard facts of the NFL business. His injury, his age and his salary make him expendable. This is a decision Jerry wouldn't have been able to make with the '90's Cowboys but since the release of Deion he has gotten better at knowing when to let a player walk for the good of his franchise.

I want to hear: "Jerry to definitely give TO a contract extension."

 

[arync]

If I were Glenn I'd be pissed off that I didn't have the microfracture surgery this year and came back next year. To bust your butt all season long to return for the playoff game and team gives that type of performance, I'd walk away too

"that" performance was a little of his work..he should have been worked into the game..he should have NEVER taken that many snaps...and he also had a crucial penalty when he was not on the LOS

article said that TO was named all-pro

only Cowboy I saw named All-Pro was Ware, that was on the ESPN ticker a week or 2 ago, maybe that was just ESPN? cuz I also read somewhere that Witten too was an All-Pro

Hes the man!

I just wonder how effective he'll be in three years.

I definitely want him back next year, but I'm not sure it's wise to overextend.

Ware Wit and TO. All 3 - all pro.

..............X 2.

TO, Witten, and Ware were "first team" All-Pro.

Flozell, Bigg, and Gurode ended up being "second teamers".

Ken Hamlin also received a vote at safety.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Ware Wit and TO. All 3 - all pro.

noice, I'm assuming the only other team that had that many, or more, was New England? or did we have the most All-Pros?

Cowboys have five all-pro players three first team, and two second team.

First team: Ware, Witten, and Owens
Second Team: Davis and Adams.
