Terry Glenn Waived
For all the Browns fans that were panicking about the injury to Browns third receiver Joe Jurevicius, the time for worry is over. Sure, it would be great if Joe J was suited up and ready to go for training camp, but the bottom line is this. The Browns have two good receivers in Braylon Edwards and Donte Stallworth. Consider that last season the Browns were able to claw their way out of the basement of the NFL with Edwards, Jurevicius and Tim Carter playing wide receiver. So now the Browns have Edwards, Stallworth, Jurevicius whenever he gets back from injury, and some younger guys like Travis Wilson, and Joshua Cribbs.
The Browns are deep right now and the options are only going to grow. They have Kevin Kasper in camp competing for a WR job. Eric Parker just got cut by the San Diego Chargers this week. And now Terry Glenn has been waived by the Dallas Cowboys. Glenn has had injury problems over the last few years, but he might be a very viable option for the Browns at third wide receiver.
I only point this out because this is the same thing that is going to happen with the cornerback position. The Browns seem understaffed at that position now, but I am not concerned yet. They have young guys in camp showing what they can do and if they fail, the Browns will have plenty of options from veterans who end up getting cut in favor of rookies who come into camp and shine. Remember that the NFL is a salary-cap driven game. If an NFL team can move a middle aged journeyman making decent money off the roster in favor of a third-round draft choice, the dollars dictate that they do so.
