Jaguars sign veteran cornerback Aaron Glenn

[MichaelWinicki]

That was a come-on Winicki.

Well I'm married.

 

[zrinkill]

I am happy that A. Glenn will be allowed to continue his career if that is what he wants to do.

I wish him all the best unless he plays us in the Superbowl.

It's over now.

We need to move on.


We need to start taking a look at Henry.

Who can we find to replace him?

It's over now.

We will move on.


No one will start looking at Henry except you.

No one will replace him in '07.

 

[Alexander]

Newman has said himself that regardless he is playing. Not my words.

Newman has also said that he can't plant on the foot and that he's only hopeful he can take steps to be able to play.

That's a far cry from stating he is healthy and good to go to play an entire game.

The only reassuring words we have is from Doctor Jerry Jones who has said he "will be fine".

We have heard the same thing from Doctor Wade Phillips too: "I think he is going to be alright".

It sounds like very little fact and quite a bit of finger-crossing.

Until I hear Newman say "I will be fine", I will continue to be skeptical.

 

[Alexander]

Phillips said that Glenn would need help if he played for any extended period of time.

Most cornerbacks would in this type of scheme.

Are you assuming any corner not named Newman on this team wouldn't?

Not going to happen this year buddy

Or it's one of those injuries where once you "get your feet wet" on the field, he'll get used to the pain the rest of the game.

Jason Taylor had this same injury one year, he was productive.

Newman said he can't plant due to the pain... and that was a couple weeks ago. And it was without the benefit of a shot.

Let's just see what happens.

No sense howling at the moon already.

Hey, look at the positive it'll be really easy to convince people that we need to spend a #1 on a corner come next April.

 

[Mansta54]

TNew will be just fine come sunday nite. With the rest that he's gotten and the shot that he'll get, he'll be his old self. WP knows this, that's why they let AG go. They know TNew will be on the field and ready to roll.

Jason Taylor is not a cornerback.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Crap! I was so looking forward to the belly laugh at eduncan's reaction if we brought him back.

The biggest thing I was looking forward to was his blow up. Oh well. I guess we wait until Henry goes pick 6 on somebody.

 

[Alexander]

No sense howling at the moon already.

No sense whistling as you walk by the graveyard either.

 

[McCordsville Cowboy]

A first round draft pick in 08 will replace him in 09' or 10'

Glenn missed in locker room


LOUIS DeLUCA / DMN
Nobody asked Roy Williams whether Aaron Glenn should be cut. And Williams isn't happy that the locker to his left is empty all the sudden.

"[Hacked] me off," Williams said.

Williams was most vocal in expressing his displeasure that Glenn is gone. Several Cowboys said the 14-year veteran getting cut was a surprise. It's a unanimous opinion that Glenn's leadership will be missed.

"I think he was an asset for us with his wisdom and his knowledge of the game, and the way he took care of the young guys," said Williams, who considered Glenn the team's third-best cornerback. "We learned a lot from him."

Added Jacques Reeves, who moved up the depth chart with Glenn's departure: "He was a professional, a guy you could learn from, not just on the field but off the field."

Aaron Glenn to Jacksonville
Aaron Glenn is a Jaguar.

The veteran cornerback signed with Jacksonville two days after he was cut by the Cowboys. Even though he might not be the player he was last year or in 2005, Glenn was still an asset to the Cowboys.

Glenn will still receive $500,000 from the Cowboys this year because that was the guaranteed part of his $1.7 million base salary. So in essence, it's a nice double dip by the former Aggie.

We should just release him.

I feel like I'm getting pulled in two different directions. On one side, Roy Williams, the starting Pro Bowl strong safety, says that Aaron Glenn was an asset to the team. On the other side, Eduncan says that Glenn wasn't all that.

It's so confusing. What am I gonna do? Just what am I gonna do? :nervous:

No sense whistling as you walk by the graveyard either.

Not gripping about replacing a 14 year veteran at the 3rd CB position hardly qualifies as whistling through the graveyard. It's better to release a player a year too early than a year too late.

And I'm not sure what you're referring to re: J Reeves' play this preseason. If anything, he was stronger than A Glenn, and whenever he's been in in regular season games, he's done a good job. Sometimes he doesn't get his head around in time, but he's always in position, has good speed, and knows his role.

 

[iceberg]

Thats what I thought when I first heard he was cut..

He was going to make 1.7 million...

He kept 500K after bring cut..

I think the veteran minimum for a player with 11 years or more is 820,000.

I really hope Jerry wasn't trying to save around 400 thousand by releasing Glenn and really is assured by Wade that Reeves will be fine if TNew cant go

I wonder if he signed for minimum in Jacksonville?

so since not many people *not smart* seldom make it to own an NFL team maybe w can assume it was NOT about money also.

or maybe that it was about age/production/value?

when has jones put his checkbook away when he had need? never that i know of.

let's keep this in mind also as we bag on jones and realize maybe - just maybe, it wasn't about money for glenn.
