Cowboys Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 10:10:35 PDT

Wide receiver Terry Glenn and the Cowboys remain at an impasse.

Glenn says he wants to finish his career with the Cowboys, but he is adamant about not signing a $500,000 injury waiver the Cowboys are demanding that he sign.

The Cowboys want injury protection against Glenn's surgically repaired right knee and have barred him from practicing with the team until he signs the waiver.

And if doesn't sign it the team will likely cut him. Glenn plans to call their bluff.

Moreover, he said he would prefer that the Cowboys cut him now if that's their position so he can try to catch on with another team.

Again, Glenn said he has no intention of changing his position.
