There have been plenty of big-named veterans released from their teams this offseason only to have trouble finding work. Shaun Alexander and Travis Henry are the two most obvious examples, but it looks like 34-year-old Terry Glenn won't get the opportunity to be part of that group. Word on the street is that the recently out of work Dallas Cowboy wide receiver will be a Miami Dolphin any minute now. At least according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terry Glenn is expected to sign with the Miami Dolphins in the next few days, according to two sources. ...Despite Derek Hagans' offseason progress, the Dolphins could use some depth at wide receiver. Currently, it's Ted Ginn, who should benefit from Glenn's presence, and offseason acquisition Ernest Wilford. Not a lot to get excited about.
In Miami, the veteran receiver will be reunited with Bill Parcells and several other former Dallas coaches and players. Parcells, the Dolphins executive vice president for football operations, coached Glenn in New England and in Dallas.
That's not to say Glenn will suddenly solve the team's passing woes, but he's an established veteran who's still a deep threat. Sure, he's only good for one, maybe two more seasons, but for an organization looking for a spark, particularly when it comes to matriculating the ball up the field, Glenn seems like an obvious choice.
Assuming the deal goes through, now all the Dolphins have to figure out is, well, everything else.
