DAL: Glenn’s future to be decided today

Terry Glenn (WR) 7/25: The Dallas Morning News indicates that a decision regarding Terry Glenn's future with the Cowboys is expected to be made today.

Terry Glenn Update…

Cowboys WR Terry Glenn continues to have health issues. His knee is bone-on-bone, and he’s almost 34 years old. ESPN’s Ed Werder reported that Glenn has backed off his comments earlier about wanting out of Dallas. We think his comments were in frustration with the fact that owner Jerry Jones had asked him to sign an injury waiver before practicing.

Cutting through the clutter, things just don’t look good for Glenn’s future fantasy value. We recommend staying away from him, as Dallas’ offense was more explosive than every in 2007 without him completely.

Terry Glenn Could Be Done For Good…

We’re hearing that despite recent reports from Cowboys brass about Terry Glenn coming back to start in 2008, the 34 year old veteran very well could be bought out from his contract in August, and be done with football for good. We do not recommend him as a fantasy option in 2008.

Dallas Cowboys OTA Updates…

Veteran LB Zach Thomas has reportedly put on around 15 pounds of muscle this off-season and is now up to 240 lbs. He’s a definite IDP sleeper candidate in 2008. 

Apparently, SS Roy Williams has skipped OTA practices to go on a cruise with his family. While he technically isn’t breaking any team rules, it’s probably not the best decision to miss valuable off-season work while trying to validate his spot on the team. Fans have been calling for his head for almost three years now, due to his limited cover skills.

34 year old WR Terry Glenn continues to sit out OTA practices due to troubles with his surgically repaired knees. Even though he’s stated differently, we wouldn’t be surprised if he hangs it up for good prior to the season.

Pacman Jones will reportedly wear number 21 with Dallas.

Sam Hurd A Fantasy Sleeper In `08?

Word is that the Cowboys really like Sam Hurd. The 6′2″, 196 pounder from Northern Illinois is T.O.’s back-up, but has run a little as the ‘Boys third WR during OTAs.

T.O. loves him, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he pushes Patrick Crayton a little this year, especially if Terry Glenn misses time. Dallas didn’t draft a WR in 2008, which gives Hurd some dynasty PO.Â

Returning From Injuries In 2008…

Cowboys WR Terry Glenn says he’ll be ready to play in 2008 and that he’s excited to be back. We’re not sure how much confidence we have in his ability anymore, as his knee is pretty messed up, but we’ll see.

On a much smaller scale, Packers RB DeShawn Wynn has been medically cleared to play, and he could compete to become Ryan Grant’s primary back-up in 2008.

Terry Glenn To Start In 2008?

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones recently told the media that 34 year old WR Terry Glenn, who missed  nearly all of the 2008 season with bone-on-bone in his knee, has a “50-50″ chance to start opposite Terrell Owens in 2008.

Well, the fact that Dallas didn’t draft a WR tells us he might not be fibbing, but it’s hard to believe it after last season.

Patrick Crayton played well, and Jason Witten is a force to be reckoned with, so Glenn could also very easily be released during training camp if his knee can’t hold up. Dallas is believed to be high on youngster Sam Hurd as well.

Gholston, Glenn, Muhammad Rising; Smith, Dorsey, Thomas, Carr Falling…

Rising - Vernon Gholston, Ohio State DE - The beast defensive end from Ohio State greatly improved his draft stock with a phenomenal performance at the NFL Combine. Gholston looks like a classic rush end in a 4-3 defense, and if he goes to a team like Detroit, Oakland, Cincy, Buffalo, Carolina or Minnesota, he could make an immediate impact. IDPers in leagues that require starters at defensive line know that top DEs are hard to come by. Read more

Stallworth Signs Long Term Deal With Browns…

27 year old WR Donte’ Stallworth signed a seven year contract with the Cleveland Browns.  This is an absolutely near perfect fit.  Stallworth will start opposite Braylon Edwards and will become a serious deep target for Derek Anderson.  We like him already as a solid WR3 in 2008.

Bernard Berrian, Vikings WR 
No-Offseason.com
Bernard Berrian signed a six year, $42 million contract with the Minnesota Vikings.  We love this move for Brad Childress’ squad.  With Berrian and Sidney Rice stretching the field, Tarvaris Jackson should improve big time and could possibly even become a fantasy option in 2008.

Keary Colbert, Broncos WR
No-Offseason.com
After releasing Javon Walker, the Broncos signed free agent Keary Colbert to a two year deal.  This is a very interesting move, considering Colbert has underachieved big time.

Gibril Wilson, Raiders SS
No-Offseason.com
The Raiders inked Gibril Wilson, a top IDP defensive back.  This could spell a bit of trouble for former top 10 pick Michael Huff.

Devery Henderson, Saints WR
No-Offseason.com
The Saints signed Henderson - a home run hitter - to a one year deal.

Terry Glenn, Cowboys WR
No-Offseason.com
Cowboys WR Terry Glenn has decided not to undergo microfracture surgery this off-season.  This is a great decision, since that kind of surgery would almost certainly end his career immediately.  His bone-on-bone will continue to limit him.

Terry Glenn To Comeback In 2008?

Despite the fact that he missed all of the 2007 regular season with bone-on-bone in his knee, Dallas owner Jerry Jones says that 34 year old WR Terry Glenn will be a huge factor in the team’s offense in 2008.  We disagree wholeheartedly with the owner and recommend that fantasy owners avoid Glenn. 

Robert Ferguson, Free Agent WR 
No-Offseason.com
The veteran is expected to re-sign with the Vikings, whom he started for towards the end of 2007.  He’s likely to come off the bench in 2008, as Sidney Rice and a WR to be named later emerge.

Kyle Orton, Bears QB 
No-Offseason.com
The Bears recently signed Rex Grossman to a one-year, $3 million deal and are expected to sign Kyle Orton to a similar deal.  Both QBs are expected to be the front runners for the starting job in Chi-Town.

Derek Smith, Chargers LB
No-Offseason.com
The Chargers signed the 33 year old free agent after seven seasons with the Niners.  Don’t expect him to make a fantasy impact at all.  The best case scenario is that he’ll start next to Stephen Cooper on the inside of the team’s 3-4 alignment.

DeAngelo Hall, Falcons CB
No-Offseason.com
Hall met with Mike Smith during the 2008 NFL Scouting Combine regarding his future in Atlanta.  Although Hall has been unhappy with the Falcons for the past two seasons, we expect the new ballcoach to get him to buy in a bit better than Jim Mora and Bobby Petrino ever did.

Jon Kitna, Lions QB
No-Offseason.com
Contradicting what we heard in early January - which is no surprise coming from the Lions, by the way - head coach Rod Marinelli is now saying that 36 year old QB Jon Kitna is the team’s heavy favorite to start in 2008 over Drew Stanton and Dan Orlovsky.  We believe Stanton will get his shot by Week 5.
