A Glenn-Parcells reunion?

Here's a little tidbit from our friends at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram:

The paper reported on Tuesday that recently-released Cowboys receiver Terry Glenn will likely soon be heading to Dallas East -- aka the Miami Dolphins. The veteran wideout, who's still working his way back from a serious knee injury that limited him to just two games (including Dallas' playoff loss to the eventual champion Giants) a year ago, was finally cut loose by the Cowboys last week following a lengthy dispute over an injury waiver related to his troublesome right knee.

The move comes as no surprise, and not just because the Dolphins are in desperate need of some established depth at the wide receiver position. Glenn, of course, has a long history with Miami czar Bill Parcells that dates all the way back to 1996, when he was a rookie in New England and the Big Tuna was still the head coach of the Patriots. Plus there's the fact that virtually every Cowboys castoff during the offseason has found his way onto the current Dolphins' roster.

Continuing with the Cowboys, there's been plenty of talk that the team is on the lookout for an upgrade over the aging Brad Johnson as quarterback Tony Romo's primary backup. A name that has often popped up is that of former University of Texas star Chris Simms, who's presently buried as the fourth-string signal-caller for the quarterback-heavy Buccaneers. Simms hasn't played since 2006, but he's still young (will be 28 on Aug. 29) and shown he can be a serviceable starter in the past.
