I think we already have TG's long term replacement in Stanback. But I doubt he's ready for a starting slot until sometime next season.
If we trade for someone, I expect it to be more of a special teams/WR project to relieve Austin of some of those duties. We have one great receiver on the roster in TO, a very good proven vet in Crayton, two young guys starting to show something in Hurd and Austin, and a rookie with great potential. I don't think there are too many teams in as good a shape as we are for the long term.

Well...they used a FOURTH ROUND pick on Stanback. Mister electrifying, remember?
DO NOT give me this "he's a developmental guy" nonsense, either. Maybe if you just won the Super Bowl you make that pick. Not when you have Terry "mister glass" Glenn.
Hey I have an idea. Why not take a wideout who has actually shown he has a knack to play that position?
Ridiculous.

You can't be serious. You think Stanback will be ready to replace Terry Glenn by next year?
It takes WR's that played the position in college a couple of years to adjust to the pro game. It's going to take a QB to WR conversion considerably longer to be considered starting material.
Matt Jones, the QB turned WR that the Jaguars drafted is still trying to adjust to the position. The only reason they start him, is because the rest of their WR's are just as bad. I would hate for that to be the position we're in next year.

I guess TO, Crayton, Witten, Fasano, JJ, and MBIII's hands just fell off?

DMN Blog: Looking for receivers
If Terry Glenn is out for a significant portion of the season, do the Cowboys look to make a trade for a receiver or see what's available on the street?
Trades are tricky because teams generally don't like to give up draft picks. But for a team that expects to win now, as the Cowboys have stated, then they might have to give up some of the '07 picks. Not either of their two first-round picks, certainly, but it might have to be a first-day selection to get anybody good.
I saw some reports earlier in camp that Miami's Chris Chambers might be available, but I don't see that happening. The Patriots have a plethora of receivers on their roster and the Joneses certainly get along with the Krafts. Maybe there's something there.
If you're looking on the street, you've got guys like Reche Caldwell, who played for New England last year and helped beat Wade Phillips in the playoffs, Az Hakim and former Cowboys Quincy Morgan and Antonio Bryant. Whomever signs Bryant, however, has to have sit out a game because of an NFL suspension. Here's a name: Keenan McCardell. He's the ultimate professional. He can pick up a system quickly.

DMN Blog: 'No crying in football'
Wade Phillips confirmed that Terry Glenn is out this week and perhaps much longer after suffering a different injury to his right knee a couple days ago.
"We're gathering information on it," Phillips said when asked if putting Glenn on the injured reserve is a possibility. "We're trying to determine what his status is beyond Sunday."
Jerry said on The Ticket this morning that he expects CB Terence Newman and LB Kevin Burnett to play against the Giants. Phillips said both would be gametime decisions. Jerry ruled Greg Ellis out this week.
Phillips vows that the Cowboys' won't use the injuries as excuses.
"We're certainly not going to whine about it or cry about it," Phillips said. "We're not crybabies. No crying in football."
Tony Romo violated that rule in the Qwest Field locker room, but it might only apply during the regular season.
