DMN Blog: Jerry Jones Rules Out Any WR That Hasn't Worked With Romo

by Tim MacMahon

Jerry Jones ruled out acquiring a receiver who has never worked with Tony Romo. His logic is that by the time such a receiver got in a rhythm with Romo, Sam Hurd and Miles Austin would be ready to go.

"We won't have anybody out there that has not been on the team trying to move the ball against Cleveland," Jerry said.

There's a veteran receiver named Terry Glenn who has worked extensively with Romo. Glenn has been unemployed since the Cowboys cut him on the second day of training camp, which is the last time Jerry has had any contact with him or his agent.

Jerry, who left the door open to Glenn returning when he was cut, danced around questions about whether the Cowboys would be contacting Glenn. He said he wasn't sure whether Glenn, who still might need microfracture surgery on his knee at some point, would be ready to play. Glenn's conditioning is as much a concern as his knee.

Jason Garrett said the Cowboys would do their due diligence and have internal discussions about Glenn. Does Jerry plan to call Glenn?

"I'm going to keep that to myself," Jerry answered, not exactly making Glenn's return seem probable.
