Glenn could join Dolphins (Bill Parcells used to refer to him as "She" when they were in New England)

Dolphins coach on Terry Glenn: We're turning over every rock to improve roster

With the passing game stagnant, the Dolphins acknowledged it makes sense to consider adding veteran receiver Terry Glenn to help bolster its inexperienced receiving corps.

Even though coach Tony Sparano categorized reports that the Dolphins are pursuing Glenn as "hypothetical," he admitted that the front office is turning over "every rock" to improve the roster.

"I'm sure it makes sense that you'd be interested. We know the guy. We know him. We've coached him," Sparano said of Glenn, who was drafted by Dolphins vice president of football operations Bill Parcells in 1996 while with New England. "God, Bill's coached him for years. I've had him for four or five years down [in Dallas]. So I know the guy."

"The thing that I do know is I have two people upstairs that do their due diligence on any player out there. Any player," Sparano said. "I'm sure that Terry Glenn or anybody else would be treated the same that way." -- Sun-Sentinel.com

Assuming his surgically-repaired knee is capable of supporting the weight of an entire NFL season, I'm all for it.

We're very thin at wide receiver -- Ted Ginn, Jr. has the potential to be a standout WR, but he's still only entering his second season; Derek Hagan has loads of potential, but struggles with concentration and drops way too many easy passes; with his towering stature, Ernest Wilford is rock solid in the red zone, but his lack of speed limits his versatility and makes him somewhat of a liability in the open field, Greg Camarillo and David Kircus are end-of-bench players, and Davone Bess and Jayson Foster are undrafted, unproven rookies.

I don't know how healthy Glenn is, but if he's even 3/4 the player he used to be -- when he was at his best, he was a 1,000-yard Pro Bowl player -- he definitely stands to improve our overall roster. I like the fact that he's a heady, experienced veteran. He knows the tricks of the trade...knows how to get open and how to get separation from defensive backs, knows how to handle pressure (he's played in a Super Bowl before), knows how to hold onto the ball, knows how to work the refs and draw pass interference penalties from cornerbacks. Someone with his experience could have a lot to teach a team as young as ours. And as an Ohio State alum, he could serve as a direct mentor to Ginn.

I hope we sign him. Coming off a 2007 season with only 1 win, we could always use the extra talent.
