From JJT's blog.. "How interested is T.O. in coming to Dallas?"
From JJT's blog...
• Bumped into Tom Condon, probably the most powerful agent in the business these days, and actually had a short conversation with him concerning La'Roi Glover. He didn't talk about whether Glover would return, but he did know that Glover counts more than $7 million against the club's salary cap next year. He talked about the $1.5 million roster bonus Glover is supposed to receive in March and how that's quite a bit for a player who doesn't really fit the defensive scheme.
Based on that conversation and a similar conversation I had with Jerry Jones, it's hard to believe Glover will return.
• Damon Hodge, a real voice from the Cowboys' past (2000 season), tracked me down this afternoon. He's been chasing the dream in Canada and the Arena Football League but now wants to get into scouting at the pro level.
• Got a personal brushoff from super agent Drew Rosenhaus this afternoon when I tried to ask him about Terrell Owens. Actually, he brushed me off twice because I was persistent.
The second time, he acted like he was doing me such a big favor. "OK," he said, "I'll answer your question."
"How interested is T.O. in coming to Dallas?" I asked.
"No comment," he replied.
At least he didn't say...."Next question."
• Spoke with Texas tackle Jonathon Scott's father in the hotel lobby this AM. He said Scott is working in Houston between all-star games to improve his strength. The key, he said, is for his son to bench press 225 pounds at least 30 times at the combine. Do that and he thinks he goes in the first round.
Also said Flozell Adams had been wonderful to the kid and was trying to teach him some of his tricks of the trade. I don't want to hear anything from you wise guys -- and you know who you are -- about how Adams is probably showing him how to be whistled for illegal procedure 12 times a season and still get a trillion-dollar contract.
• Keyshawn Johnson called this morning. Wanted to know if I found any receivers at the Senior Bowl that can help. I told him tackles were more important than receivers.
• Hung out with Dallas-based agent Jordan Woy for awhile. He represents Texas tackle Jonathan Scott, who played high school ball at Carter. He said the Cowboys met with him briefly. No surprise there considering Rob Petitti (13.5) and Torrin Tucker (12.5) finished 1-2 in the league in sacks allowed.
• Spent some time with Kennard McGuire, Andre Gurode's agent. He said he'll listen to offers from Dallas, but expects to seriously explore the free-agent market.
