Cowboys already in a bind
It is not even the start of the regular season, and already the Dallas Cowboys are in a bind. That is due in part to wide receiver Terry Glenn’s stubborness to get microfracture surgery, and his unwillingness to sign a waiver.
Terry Glenn suffered a knee injury that he tried to rehab last year to hopefully get back on the field, which really backfired. It looks again that may be the case as Glenn has again elected not to get surgery, but to just rehab it, along with natural healing, will be good enough ti get him back on the field.
The other major hurdle is the injury waiver that the Cowboys want Glenn to sign. Glenn is scheduled to make $1.74 million base salary this year. The waiver is for if Glenn reinjures the knee he will only receive $500 thousand.
The big problem is that Glenn has barred from the teams facilities, unless he signs the waiver. The thing is that the Cowboys cannot do that if Glenn is able to pass a physical.
The Cowboys are very thin at the wide receiver position without Glenn. The only other decent wide receiver on the roster is Patrick Crayton, besides him there is nobody else that can come in, and not have a drop off.
So, what will happen with the Cowboys? Most likely Glenn will be cut by the beginning of training camp, and catch on with another team. Then subsiquently the Cowboys will make a move to get a veteran wide receiver like Roy Williams, or Anquan Boldin.
For now it is a game of chicken, and the question being who will blink first?
