Here we go. Greg Ellis and Terry Glenn are teaming up to be the nuisances of the moment.

First Mickey Spagnola is pretty much tired of them and there BS, read here.

You guys know my stance on Glenn, and if you don't or have forgotten, head over to my May 20th column here on DallasCowboys.com: "Glenn's Eternal Quandary", and you will better understand why the Cowboys are trying to insure their gamble on Glenn returning for the 2008 season. No matter what you've heard, how strong his leg might be or how well he is running, the degenerative condition of his right knee - missing articular cartilage behind the kneecap - makes him no better than 50-50 to play this entire season.

Now the Cowboys could have cut him after the season or even - still I guess - fail him on a physical, yet they have chosen to give him a chance to earn the $1.74 million, and if not that, and only if the current problem with the right knee lands him on IR, at least $500,000. He's saying no way, and this is not some recent rejection. These talks have been going on for nearly a month. 

So, and I know guys have pride, but wondering if Glenn has asked himself this: If outright released, who out there would take a look at that knee and pass him on a physical, and if they did, guarantee him more money? What kind of insurance advice is he getting? Well, maybe none, because I see it's been reported he has fired his agent.

To be continued . . . .

Now Ellis, and to tell you the truth, when I first saw this surface on Wednesday when most figured the veteran outside linebacker was innocently enough missing from the OTA workout, I laughed. Thought it was a stretch, at best. I mean, how could he? Not after what he and Jones went through last year and the year before that . . . and was it the year before that, too? I don't know, it's happened so often now I've lost track.

But no, evidently Ellis, Mr. Paranoia, took exception to reduced reps during Tuesday's OTA workout and quickly deduced the club was fixing to run him off or demote him, a Pro Bowl outside linebacker coming off a career-high 12½-sack season playing just 13 games, to a designated pass rusher. So he took his ball and went home, and did so again on Thursday, skipping that "voluntary" OTA, too.

The defensive coaches here are flabbergasted.    

Terry Glenn should be signing the waiver and Ellis should be at the OTA's if you ask me.

Here's Todd Archer from the DMN discussing the situations during his weekly visit with David Smoak on KTBB.com..

Archer talks Ellis and Glenn

Like I said, Glenn should be signing the waiver and Ellis should be at the OTA's.

Of course we aren't done just yet.

Here's the NFL Live report on the gruesome twosome..



One more time in case you didn't hear me.

Terry Glenn should be signing the waiver and Greg Ellis should be at the OTA's!
