Glenn signs five-year, $20M deal with CowboysESPN.com news services


Dallas Cowboys receiver Terry Glenn signed a five-year, $20 million contract extension Monday.


Glenn's new contract, which runs through 2010 and replaces a previous contract that had one year remaining, comes just more than a week after Terrell Owens signed a three-year, $25 million deal with the Cowboys.

In the wake Owens' deal, Glenn suggested last week he might seek to have his own deal upgraded. At the same time, Glenn said his contract would not be an issue and emphasized he would not skip offseason workouts or training camp.

"We been trying to do something and have talked about it for a while. It finally came together," said Glenn's agent, Jimmy Gould. "He's excited about it. With he and T.O., it's a good deal."

He deserved a raise.

However, I'd like to see the new number before I comment.

[CPstretch]

isnt he kind of old?

[Ken]

isnt he kind of old?
32.

Is Issac Bruce old? Is Marvin Harrison old? Is Keyshawn old?


They all got big contracts recently.

Actually he's 31 and he played all 16 games last year.

His career injuries not last year buddy. Everyone knows he EXCEEDED his expectations last year. He was playing his *** off to earn that contract.Don't even bring up that we overpaid for our new recievers.ARE and Lloyd have something to prove because they have yet to have a pro bowl type of year just like Moss when he came in. Call it a gut feeling but I don't think Glenn will not make it through the whole season. He will be in TO's shadow all year maybee making him

[Lil Kenzo]

Good move by the Boys'. However, their WR corps are aging. All are in their 30s'. I wouldn't be too excited if I were a boys' fan. An aging QB and two starting/aging WRs'...SUSPECT!

That will be addressed in the draft this season.

A little sensitive about your contracts? I love how you know what I'm going to say. Terry Glenn is an excellent receiver for us and he's showing no signs of slowing down. If you pay attention to the league, it's not necessarily the age all the time it's the player. Let me take a guess. Your gut tells you that your entire receiving core will remain healthy and play lights out this year? :rolleyes:

looks like you hit a nerve. 32 is getting old for football players.

[CPstretch]

doesnt it seem like he has been around forever

[gutlead74]

doesnt it seem like he has been around forever
came out of ahia state early and impacted NFL in his rookie season. it does seem like forever doesnt it

[jrockster21]

Glenn is a good receiver, and always seems to have big games against the Skins (except for the second game last season :)). He had his second best season ever last year, and it didn't really look like he was slowing down. I think there is a good chance he stays healthy and puts up some huge numbers. We all saw how a scrub like Todd Pinkston benefitted from TO's presence...Glenn already has a relationship with Bleedsoe, and should benefit greatly from him being there. I'd say a 1200+ yard, 10+ TD season isn't out of the question. :2cents:


This all assumes that A) TO behaves and plays all season, and B) Bleedsoe stays on the field all season.

I don't like it when I have to agree with you! I really mean that.. :mad:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

You know how hard it is for me to say someone on the Cowgirls is going to perform well? :laugh:

If TO behaves and Bleedsoe stays on the field (and the Oline protects him worth half a crap), the Cowboys will compete with the Skins for 1st in the division down to the wire. I hope we have another late season matchup...it will definitely be for the division (imho).

Having an experienced 1100 yd. 7 td second receiver isn't such a bad thing. Drew getting protection is the key. I'm interested to see what we do with our first round pick.

You think they'll go quarterback? Maybe if Cutler makes it to 18?

[Enter Apotheosis]

Drew getting protection is the key.

Enter Andre Carter :D

[The-Rock]

Glenn deserves a better contract after his last season, he got a good amount of yards and touchdowns especially for the number of catches he had and times he was thrown to, which is possibly low due to how many times Bledsoe was getting sacked.

Last year was however arguably his best season overall, the best since he was a rookie in what 1996 or something? He has taken his injuries but I wouldnt count on him getting injured this season really. Sometimes these old guys that have been banged up have a certian old guy look about them like your afraid their leg will snap off (kind of how I feel when I watch Brunell drop back :( ) but Glenn looks as youthful, and last season healthy as he did early on the Patriots.

The Cowboys would be smart however to add Santonio Holmes to the rosterin the draft (if possible), maybe he can pick things up from Owens and Glenn and do well on the Cowboys, he could at least add depth...who knows.

[THEHEREAFTER]

I doubt Cutler makes it that far. I love BP but he's not about to bring in a rook IMO. Does he bring in a vet? Who knows? BP rolled the dice last year with Romo/Henson as the back ups so he'll probably do the same. The rest of NFLE, training camp and pre-season will hopefully answer alot of questions. I'm thinking WR/OT/LB or safety is a lock for us with our first pick. Who knows? We still have quite a few holes to fill.

[THEHEREAFTER]

Enter Andre Carter :D

Carter gives you guys some athleticism. He's been very inconsistent in S.F. though. Maybe GW will get the best out of him.

[bedlamVR]

AC has been inconsitant probably due to injuries and changes in schemes but as a solid pass rushing DE he could add something to the D line we have been missing for a long time .

As for Glen he possibly deserves the money but this is now 45 million tied up (I have no idea how Glens extention is worked out) in two WRs who will be 32 or older come september over the next few years and I know there are get out and there is no way either will see all thier money but it does seem alot which give the impression WR will not be a priority in the crap shoot ....I meen draft.

Holmes is the guy I've been wanting to get since the season ended. TO or not, he makes me feel better than just having Crayton should an injury occur.

Why wouldn't Skins fans consider the draft? We have more picks than Dallas.

[ChrisFul]

I wonder why everyone thinks that 31 is over-the-hill for a WR. It's not like they are running backs, getting pounded on play after play. Look at the guys generally considered to the be NFLs best WRs of the past few seasons, they are all over 30 or close to approaching it.

TO - 32
Harrison - 33
Holt - 29
Randy Moss - 29
Hines Ward - 30

Everyone has made some great points but can you really compare Glenn the recievers up there. THe man only had two good seeasons while these Wr's have been consistant throughout there career.
OH yeah I could care less what the the fckn Cowboys are doing with there contracts. Just killing some time.

Huh? Where did I say i was comparing glenn to those recievers? Man, i swear, you redskin fans.......try to keep up, k? I was trying to dispell the notion that 32 year old WRs are close to the end, when in fact they aren't.

Why don't you try being respectful? You're a guest here. Look around, its burgundy and gold for a reason.

Look here, sparky, ive been posting on this forum for nearly 3 or 4 years now. Some of the older extremeskins posters are quite respectful, but the vast majority of the posters on this site are not when discussing the cowboys or any other NFC East team. I reserve the right to respond accordingly. If those that run this board (last time i checked, you did not qualify for that category) deem my responses innappropriate, they'll do something about it.

One of the main ideals on this board is self-moderation. You can simply be a :censored: or you can be a respectful poster, its up to you. I'm just letting you know I'm going to call you on it when you're the former.

No first. No third.

One first day pick and the rest? Eh.

[lil_b83]

maby the cowboys is looking at chad jackson out of he a tall ang good receiver.

[Dirk Diggler]

We had 2 #1s last season. So our 2006 #1 basically = Jason Campbell 1 year early

OUr 2006 3rd = Brandon Llyod

Not necessarily what I would have done, but so far - it's difficult to argue with the results. Flat out - they've been more successful recently at player procurement than most other teams, including Dallas. There's no rule that says you can only mine for talent in the draft. Nothing wrong with exploring other avenues.

[dockeryfan]

Signing Glenn was the right thing to do. It keeps him happy, after seeing a big payday go to TO, and puts out a fire before it happened.

He was under contract and could have been forced to play for his 2mil/yr.

Some teams would have forced him to play out his contract, chemistry be damned. Most people know I'm talking about the Eagles FO here.

We don't even know how much of this money he will see, so we can't really criticize. For a few extra million, they put out a fire before it starts.

Will it work? Who knows, but it was the right move. Glenn/TO/Bledsoe is a problem for defenses, no matter how anyone wants to spin the age factor.

[Leonard Washington]

he deserved it. he has been their most explosive reciever since he's signed.
