Jerry Jones, after many long months of discussions, ended the speculation Friday by releasing veteran WR Terry Glenn. After missing most of last season due to a knee injury, Jones wanted Glenn to sign an injury waiver for this upcoming season. The waiver stipulated that if Glenn re-injured his knee this season he would be paid $500,000.

Jones held many discussions with Glenn and his agent this past week hammering out details for the waiver that Glenn was unwilling to sign. As training camp opened, however, Glenn was ready to sign the waiver. Only this time Jones was the one who would not sign. 

With this development a lot of questions are being asked about the Cowboys' wide receiver depth. To get answers, simply look at last year's results. With Glenn practically missing all of last season, the Cowboys tied the club record with 13 wins. Glenn not being there did not hurt the Cowboys at all.

What did hurt them though was Terrell Owens' injury at the end of the season. T.O.'s injury forced Patrick Crayton to be the No. 1 receiver. That did not work out so well. As long as Owens can keep healthy, the Cowboys should be in no real danger.

Sure you can say that Glenn provides the deep threat Owens, for the most part, does not. But where was that deep threat last season? That deep threat was on the Injured Reserve List. Glenn's absence last year simply did not hurt the Cowboys.

No one was questioning the Cowboys' ability to pass the ball last year with Glenn out, so why should we start questioning it now? As long as T.O. can stay healthy and TE Jason Witten can get open near the goal line, the Cowboys are in good shape.
