Two players you won’t see in a Miami uniform

Keyshawn Johnson and Terry Glenn.
In the doldrums before training camp, there’s nothing to write about except rumors and arrests. Columnist Barry Jackson had a little throw-away piece on MiamiHerald.com about Keyshawn Johnson unretiring from the broadcast booth and returning to football.
Wrote Jackson “Keyshawn Johnson said he’s still ‘’seriously” considering a comeback but that never came up when he spoke to Bill Parcells last month.”
Parcells has a practice of recalling favored players to join his new teams. That’s why there’s speculation that receiver Terry Glenn may find his way to Miami if he’s released by Dallas. Johnson had his most productive years working with Parcells at the New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is convinced no other team has any real interest in Glenn. If he’s right, Glenn will eventually cave and sign the injury contract waiver offered by Jones, who really should bump that to the league minimum of around $750,000.
Johnson wouldn’t be the first retired player who gets an itch to return to the game. That feeling goes away when it’s time for those grueling practices under a broiling August sun. I can see Keyshawn now, sitting poolside and yelling “just throw me the d***** iced tea.”
Tell me again, how soon before training camp open?
