Purely speculation on my part, however with two young Wr in Ginn and Bess, and with Greg C sidelined until the season, what are the chances we sign Terry Glenn to a one year deal to fill in until Greg C is healthy enough to play?
Last spring he had a bad knee, it's been a year, and we could use a Veteran Wr to provide both leadership and a ready target for Pennington, and he is 35 so if he played, he wouldn't break the bank.

No thanks. I would rather us just draft one. Or do what we did when we got devon Bess try an undrafted free agent out. We are trying to rebuild and get younger. A 35 yearold wide reciver does not fit the script.
-
Just draft one...who may or may not pan out for us?
We need someone who can play the #1 or #2 or even #3, we are thin at Wr, why spend a pick when we could sign a Wr ready to play?
And he raced Ginn and another ex OSU Wr last year in the 100 yd dash and showed more wheels then you'd think, he beat Ginn in the 40..Ginn took the 100.. -
Maybe Alen, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see him show up in Training Camp one way or another, the Cowboys wanted to resign him or have him take a health related paycut, so they didn't think he was done but they were cautious.
-
I can, Tuna will ask him the same question he asked JT.."do you have anything left in the tank"? If it is "yes" then an invite will be issued.
Parcell's maintains contact with his fmr players Alen, remember he told Polite he was going to sign him, and Lusaka turned down better money from the Eagles to sign here, so in that sense it wouldn't surprise me a bit.
Especially if we don't draft a Wr with a high pick this time around. -
Why would we sign Terry Glenn when there are other wide reciver out there that are younger and are better then him. Like Anquan Boldin and TJ
-
So we would head into the season with 4 wr's who don't have 300 receptions between them?
Greg C was Pennington's go to guy until he was injured, who on our Wr corps is going to replace that ability to quickly beat the press, and to get themselves open for a pass?
It has taken Ted Ginn 2 seasons just to be "pretty good", now a rookie draft pick is going to save the passing game? -
4 million dollars for Glenn, 15 million or more for Boldin plus a #1 pick and who knows what other picks we would have to give up.
As for TJ...could be, but head to head, the FO and Staff would have more reliance on a Glenn who they know, over TJ who they don't know. -
That is why he would get the invite to camp, or they may just sign him outright.
If he's done, they cut him, no harm, no foul. -
No thanks to Glenn... Lets draft somebody, or pick up a free agent. Glenn is done IMO.
-
Yes but Terry Glenn is 35. I just dont think we will sign him. He is old did not play last year and the year before that he was hurt. Why would sign a guy who has been out of the league for almost 2 years. If we want to sign a guy Bill Parcells really know why dont we got sign Keyshawn Johnson.
-
That's one thing that I think is a bit overblown. I think if you can play and have shown to be a model citizen in the locker room, they'll go after you. T.J. Houshmanzadeh is a good player but he's 31 and will be 32 near the start of the season. He's likely to look for a big payday and I don't think we should give him one. He's coming off of successful years in Cincinnati but playing opposite of Chad Johnson, who prior to this year had very good years and demanded attention (on and off the field). Furthermore, I think a guy that isn't very healthy and is coming off of zero playing time in the last year is not going to be in the plans. I may be wrong but in my opinion, I don't see him in this teams plans.

Alot of people didnt think Peterson was going to change the run game in Minnesota his first year did they? People didnt think Flacco+Ryan would take teams that did poor the year before to the playoffs that season now did they? Crazy things can happen. Who knows, Ginn could really take off next year and be great, you cant tell me thats not possible.ASUFinFan likes this.

They could possibly do that but he would have to pass a physical first. Can he do that? Not so sure.Kanye West likes this.

As I recall, his knee injuries weren't ACL's or MCL's, so if he had the surgery and rehabbed in his year off, he would be physically ready to go, no whether or not he had gas in the tank we would have to wait and see.
-
Running back has the easiest tranistion to make into the NFL, the AGap is still the Agap....
-
Because Keyshawn retired, and if we recall, there was speculation about him playing in Miami last season.
Glenn has had a year to rehab, he's a hard working type of Wr and we need a Nat Moore type to hedge our bet on Devone, and to be frank, if Glenn was d-o-n-e the Cowpokes wouldn't have offered him a contract last season.
That is where the proof is in the pudding, the Cowpokes know Glenn's health record better then anyone of us could know it, and they offered him a deal. -
Not really backing the Glenn idea, but because Glenn would come to Miami a TON cheaper than both of those players.
-
I would have absolutely no problem with bringing Glenn in for a look see. For that matter I wouldn't care if they gave my neighbor a try out - he's in his fifties. It doesn't really matter..
Whether its Glenn or my neighbor; if he can't play, he won't be on the team. But if he can, then we just got a vet WR. If his knees are healed then Glenn is a better option than a guy like Hagen who can't hold onto the ball. Going younger is meaningless if it's just for the sake of getting younger -
I think Terry Glenns career may be over
-
Yea and he did not take it. I thought the contract they offered him was fair. If he got hurt agian he would have to give some of his money back. I think if we did ever get him we should offer him the same exact contract.

Watch it...I resemble that remark....seriously, I agree, I'm not a big Glenn fan, but if he gets thru the physical and they think he may have something left, fine....bring him in for TC and see what happens...they can stay with London and Armstrong if they want...late again likes this. -
Ok but really if Terry Glenns carree is not over already. How long do you think he will be with the dolphins? Not long. He is old he would be here 2 years tops. Plus why would you want an old wide reciver taking time away from our young wide recivers. A lot of people are dissapointed about Ted Ginn Jr progression. So we are going to get a guy who will take receptions away
from Ted Gin Jr. -
I don't think we bring Glenn in for the reasons already mentioned. Our WR's weren't that bad last year, I think the one thing that was missing was a big red zone target, which was the role that Wilford was supposed to fill. I'd prefer to look to the draft or bring in a guy like Bryant Johnson.

No to Glenn, but i do hope we sign a Vet WR considering we have nothing but young WRs currently with not much experience. An Amani Toomer would be perfect. or maybe even a Bobby Engram
-
-
no... not worth it when you're trying to get these kids playing football... trying to build a team unity. and then you bring and old declining vet that haven't played really for long time, for a decent amount of money, to try and take over some WR spots that you are trying to bring along with development and experience.... not what i want to put the kids through at all.
-
This isn't minor league baseball. If your team is good enough to win it all, then you can ill afford to sacrifice production for development.
I'm not saying Terry Glenn is the answer. Quite frankly I have my doubts. But if it's a low-risk option that could pay off handsomely, you have to take a look. We have Ginn, we have Bess. Camirillo is a question mark until he proves himself healthy and back to the same level he was. London has upside, but is still raw. That's not a lot to hang your hat on. -
I could see parcells bringing in Keyshawn before Glenn. But i don't see either coming in.

Terry Glenn, if healthy, makes the most sense to me IAB, a permanent Wr via the draft and we have a logjam when Greg C comes back, a big money FA also creates the same situation, a rent a Wr like Glenn, makes more sense.
-
log jam, or a great battle at the WR position??? bring in a possible Barden for size and red zone help, great hands... then we got a bunch of different types of WR's for different situations... it fits together in time, in practice. we have some talent, jsut need to improve that talent.
Glenn is old, what is he really going to be around for? he'll only take time away from our kids experience on the field, and its not gonna be a great mental thang for the WR's seeing this old guy getting paid more than them playing for a year or so, and then gonna be gone anyways afterwards.
almost a thanks for nothing... i want Superbowl, not washed up old WR's.
-
You want? While you are at it, wish us up some Dolphins Super Bowl tix won't you?
3 wr's dress for the game, 2 will be Ginn and Bess, do you really want to put a rook in?
A Qb needs a Wr who can get open, Glenn can do that much.:wink2:
