No, that 'Terry Glenn rumor' has NOT been verified

A few days ago someone somewhere started a rumor about Terry Glenn agreeing to an injury waiver of $750,000 and that he would be signing it sometime on Monday.

Not True! This rumor has not been verified and whether or not this turns into a fact in time doesn't matter right now.

As of 3:41pm est on July 3rd Terry Glenn is still not any closer to a deal that would have him back on the practice field once training camp begins at the end of this month.

Here's a roundup of the entire situation from Nick Eatman, read here.

As of Tuesday, the situation remains about the same. The Cowboys have asked Glenn to sign a $500,000 injury waiver to protect themselves in case the receiver re-injures his right knee, which underwent a pair of arthroscopic surgeries last season and could stand to have microfracture surgery.

Glenn has opted against that procedure with hopes of strengthening the knee enough to play another season.

And while that seemed to be the plan, Glenn was somewhat surprised when the Cowboys initially asked him to sign the waiver, specific to an injury to his right knee. If Glenn were to sign the waiver and suffer an unrelated injury, he would still receive his $1.74 million base salary.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Glenn had his agent Jim Gould had initially agreed to sign the waiver. Then last month, Glenn reportedly fired his long-time agent and planned to represent himself. That was about the same time the receiver was quoted as saying he would not sign the waiver and even hinted at being released if the Cowboys didn't have faith he would return from the injury.

However, since then, Glenn has apparently re-hired Gould, although it remains unclear just where things stand between the two sides.

Terry Glenn needs to stop it already and sign the freaking waiver because that's the only way he's playing football for the Dallas Cowboys in 2008.
 
Now the Cowboys may indeed up the offer from $500,000 to $750,000 but in any case it's still an injury waiver no matter how you look at it.
