He is still the second best receiver on the team, adds a lot of pace, has been a good team mate I believe, worked very hard last year to get back...

I have not read many comments holding out much hope for him this year.

I know he may not have much mileage left but I hope he has one good last season.

I second this....he is our best option for this year....yes, my fingers are crosssed. when you consider the money roy williams, boldin, and chad johnson want....when you consider that bringing in another wr at high dollars is going to force us to deal with TOs money....when you consider that we still have to get barber signed, hamlin signed, canty signed, and eventually ware....glenn playing this year for the dallas cowboys is the best option

He has really good hands. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure most his physical skills has all but left him...

If this were the case he would be gone, wouldn't he?

We need Glenn fit and healthy, unfortunately I get a sneaky suspicion that he will not make it through the season.

I hope I am wrong ...

I hate to put the pressure on TG but if he returns we will win the super bowl. He is the most important piece to this puzzle outside of Romo, TO, FLO, Ware, and Newman

:bow: Agree completely, I'm a huge TG fan and really hope he is healthy this year because if he is watch out our offense will be the best in the NFL. By the way it wasn't to shabby with him out all season last year. I'll take my chances with the production we had from our offense last season any year, but if Glenn can come back watch out NFC this is going to be one tough group to stop.

Cmon now, it was hyperbole, but he did look slow and sluggish in the Skins and playoff game and I'm not thinking it's going to get much better.

Per FWST Blog

Next up
The Cowboys will begin their OTA (Organized Team Activities) sessions the week of May 20. The Cowboys veteran minicamp will be June 17-19.

One interesting player to watch at the minicamp will be Terry Glenn. He has been working out at Valley Ranch focusing on strengthening his knee that kept him out nearly all of last season. Receivers coach Ray Sherman said Glenn will be ready to go for full participation in the workouts. These practices will give Glenn an idea if his knee can manage another season.
It will also be a chance to see Felix Jones and Co. working out with the veterans.

TG 2-3 years ago would of been a great with T.O. Now He's pretty much washed and has been injured to many times.

The second best Wr on the team right now is PAtrick Crayton..It might hurt to realize this, but it's true.

Bye bye Terry Glenn...Wish you could of stayed healthy.

You don't have to praise Terry Glenn on this board cause most of us are big fans. But you are wrong in one respect; he's not the #2 best WR on the team but the #1 best WR--at least in 2006. We all want Glenn to make it back and play like he used to for 1 more year.

But we also trying to be realistic and prepare ourselves for the worst. We know he's turning 34, has serious knee problems which didn't allow him to play in 07 (wasn't fully healthy in Skins or Giants game), he has degenerative knee problems which require some kind of micro surgery which means he can't play for another year which probably means his career is over. Jerry Jones said the other deal that the odds are 50-50 if Glenn can return; tough odds but possibly doable but we gotta be prepared mentally to let Glenn go & add another WR who can help us.

Glenn desperately wants 1 last chance to win a SB. Understand before walking off the field after our playoff loss, he sat for a while holding a few blades of Texas Stadium turf--probably wondering if he'd ever plan again or maybe making him even more determined to play again. But sometimes wanting something doesn't mean you get it.

I want the Cowboys to win a SB this year, not only for us long suffering Cowboy fans but for also for old timers like Adams, Ellis & Glenn along with the younger guys & particularly TO cause I really think that's what he wants the most.

Also fed up with all the Romo-Simpson jokes which would end if we win at last a playoff game & permanently when we win the Super Bowl. It would really stick it in the media's crawl (read NY) and those fans of other teams like the Commanders, etc. to watch the Cowboys on opening nite (Thursday) in 2009 play in their new stadium as the home of the defending SB champs. You can beat whichever network covers that game will show extensive coverage of our new stadium, show our newest 6th SB banner, to go along with the other 5 which they be forced to show, etc. What a proud moment it would be for Cowboy fans everywhere & for Jerry Jones. It would even be more special if we could remember all the contributions Terry Glenn made in the 2008 season. If he's not at the opening 2009 game, you can bet he'd be watching it.

It'd be interesting to hear how you arrived at this conclusion at some point.

Everyone can pull for Terry Glenn to overcome his problems and return to elite wide receiver status and, if he does, Dallas will be in very good shape at that position.

But if he does not return to elite status, putting him on the roster would just prevent the growth of a younger player gaining that status. It might be sentimentally appreciated, but not smart either if it prevents keeping a good rookie.

And, I wouldn't be too cavalier about the talents of the younger wide receivers on the team, or newly signed. Maybe Jones and Phillips are not whistling in the graveyard when they speak of their progress.

None of us know what they know.
