The Dolphins have abandoned the idea of adding free agent Terry Glenn

[Gryphon]

Both of Glenn's knees are shot and his career is quite possibly over. If any team was going to sign him, it would've been Bill Parcells' Dolphins.

Surprise, surprise....

Jerry knew what he was doing when he released Glenn.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

cannot blame them for that.

I'm just playing back that Hard Knocks skit in my head when Jerry called Terry Glenns agent and told him he was being cut. Terry's agent acted like Terry was a great player, who was perefectly healthy and Jerry would regret cutting him.

So now it's both knees?

I thought he was done when it was just one.

Does that mean he is double done now?

Vindication is sweet.

The sad thing is he opted to not have surgery last year that might have saved his career and allowed him to walk pain free rest of life.

Now he has bone on bone issues that will haunt him the rest of his life. I don't get any satisfaction out of his injuries. He wanted to help play us into SB last year.

Artie, I also predicted the end of Glenn's career....but being correct provides me no joy or any feeling of vindication or accomplishment.

I think his only shot to catch on somewhere is to get vet min with incentives after the first week of the season so his contract is not guaranteed. If he really wanted to play, he should have accepted the initial deal he was given when it was offered.

Agreed. I hate when fans celebrate over an injury.

 

[This is Our Year]

This whole Glenn thing is still bothering me it's ashame it had to end like this for him if he can't make it back. I was a real big TG fan.

He can still have microfracture, just exactly as if he were still planning on playing.

And I don't think anyone is happy to see Terry's knees as bad as they are. They are happy that Jerry was correct in cutting him so that they don't have to read from *some posters* about how long we would RUE cutting TG.

 

[Stash]

A small part of me feels good about being proven right, but a larger part hopes for the best for Glenn and his quality of life.

Jerry Jones did exactly the same thing with Irvin and Troy when injuries took them to the edge of permanent injury or worst.

Irvin wanted to come back after his injury and who knows, he might have played and not been re-injured and been productive..but there was a big if..

Same with Troy and his concussions..

and also with TG and his knees.

The fact that in each instance, Jones held the door open for each of those guys to make a good decision..and then had to close the door on their continuing playing as too great a risk..

..not to the team, but to themselves..

says all you need to know about Jerry Jones and the Cowboys.

In the end, each player knows their heart is in it, but the body is clearly lying to them about being able to do it.

Sometimes, the headcoach or the owner in this case, or both, has to make the decision for them and it's to let them go and end the risk anymore to the person.

When all is said and done, none of us want to see TG get worst now..for whatever reason.

He is a Dallas Cowboy, always will be for me and if he retires, it will be as a Cowboy hopefully.

He carried a good deal of our offense before Key and then TO and before Romo and the rest.

And he wasn't a top-flight in-his-prime WR when he did it...not like in his younger days.

So I'm OK with this turn of events.

I just hope he goes on and has his surgery and let's life after football start.

He doesn't have to go out on his shield to prove a point.

TG is tough and TG gave it his all. I enjoyed every play he made for us.

Thanx, dude.

I understad your point 100%.
But in the heat of argument,when some idiots question your knowledge,it does feel good to stomp on them.
UVAwahoo,I await your response.
I told you so,didn't I?

Glenn will walk pain free for the rest of his life. The days of severe joint pain is long gone. I can attest to that.

 

[burmafrd]

If anyone was going to give him a shot it would have been BP. And its not like Miami is loaded with WR talent. I hope hearing this from the guy who really helped Terry in his career will make him realize its over and walk away.

You play College/NFL football for 20 years? Have bone on bone wear? Doctors at the time said him not having microfracture last season would hurt Glenn's quality of life forward.

Meds to alleviate pain - how is that done today?
