ESPN reports regarding the Cowboys demand that WR Terry Glenn sign an injury waiver. “I’m not signing any waiver,” said Glenn, who said he wants to move on with his career if the Cowboys no longer want him. Full story here.

Monster Take: The Cowboys are unlikely to bend on this. They have options other than Glenn and his ability to contribute is no given with the after-effects of the injury.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports, “the Cowboys have told Glenn to either sign the $500,000 injury waiver for his surgically-repaired right knee or prepare to play elsewhere.” Full story here.

Monster Take: The Cowboys are holding all of the cards here. What other team will take a chance on Glenn with his injury? Glenn will likely agree to their terms soon.

John Clayton at ESPN.com reports, “Barber agreed Tuesday to a seven-year, $45 million deal with the Cowboys. Included in the deal is $16 million in guarantees.” Full story here.

Monster Take: This is great news for Barber and the Cowboys as well as Barber owners. Ordinarily we would be a little wary of a running back getting the big deal (think Shaun Alexander in Seattle) as he has less incentive to produce. However, we believe that Barber will still have enough to prove that the huge contract will be a non-factor.

The Dallas News reports that Dallas owner Jerry Jones said, “there’s a 50-50 chance that Terry Glenn will start in 2008.” Full story here.

Monster Take: Whoever starts in this potent passing attack with Tony Romo, T.O., and Jason Witten, will provide fantasy football value. However, we’re not buying that it will be Glenn. He turns 34 this summer and is coming off a serious injury. We’ll have to see him show something this summer before we’d even think about taking him in our drafts.
