In not-so-shocking news, the Cowboys have released Terry Glenn. One of the team's primary concerns this offseason was finding a healthy, big-play wideout to line up opposites Terrell Owens, but Dallas seemed unconcerned about the lack of depth at the position (or, at the very least, more concerned about other personnel issues), and I suspect tight end Jason Witten's versatility had a lot to do with that. But enough about the Cowboys -- relative to most teams, they're in great shape.Miami, on the other hand, is a different story. And now that Glenn is available, it seems certainly plausible that the Dolphins would make a run at him.
The Miami-Dallas-Parcells connections are way too obvious, and more importantly, the team could stand to add some quality receivers to the roster. But there could be a bigger fish to fry. Or something. From the Miami Herald's Armando Salguero:
"I think Boldin will be in play," the NFL source said. "The Cardinals don't want to trade him. But I don't think the Giants wanted to trade Jeremy Shockey and the Dolphins didn't want to trade Jason Taylor. And we know how that turned out. When a team has an unhappy player in camp, it is not a comfortable situation for anyone."Boldin's unhappy with his current situation and Salguero writes that the former Florida State star LOVES South Florida. Whether he loves it enough to play for a team that one a single game last year is a different issue, but it's not like the Cardinals are '80s and '90s 49ers. If Boldin's used to anything, it's losing. Might as well do it in a place where you're wanted.
Of course, there were rumors for most of the offseason that teams were interested in Boldin, but the Cardinals refused to deal him. Not sure what's changed (Boldin's been unhappy for a while), but I suppose anything's possible. That said, if there's even a chance Arizona would part with Boldin, I've got him going to the Redskins. Sure, Washington doesn't need a wide receiver, but what's that got to do with anything?

Can you say Jerry Jones?
Releasing Glen would give Dallas a good reason to pursue Boldin.
Plus they can talk even more about how good they look on paper with the addition of Boldin.

Having grown up in St. Louis and moved to Phoenix in 1990', I have been a ticket holder for 40 years. We have had some great players come and go as fast as they can. Boldin gives a great tandum receivers. Why can't we build where everyone gets a piece of the pie, and we instill a long term team pride. It starts from the top Mr. Bidwell. Make these players happy without forking out mega dollars to to few. Players your careers are short, and you are the best of the best, but show some Team Pride and honor your your contracts. Be smart with your money, your childrens children can't spend what you make. Your part of this community, and you can retire here with all the honors. I'm proud to be a Cardinal Fan and we are almost there. Players stick with the band wagon concept. Come on Mr. Bidwell, You got your stadium after all these years, lets go. GET IT DONE or SELL THE TEAM TO SOMEONE WHO WILL. 8-8 SHOULD BE 10-6 EVERY TIME.

Well said Mike I think Anqaun is the heart beat of this team and deserves the contract he has outplayed his contract and needs a new one. If Cards don't give him one some one else will. And CAN THE CARDS AFFORD THAT?
