If Terry Glenn doesn’t sign that injury waiver Adam Schefter of NFL.com says the Cowboys could go with Joe Horn at wide receiver.  Old man Joe Horn. 

Here is what he wrote:

Wide receiver Joe Horn: Atlanta doesn’t want to pay Joe Horn’s $2.5 million base salary, which has a skill/injury guarantee. But Dallas might. In the event that it cannot reach a compromise deal with wide receiver Terry Glenn, Dallas already is eyeing Horn. He now has become Plan 1A. Should Dallas trade a late-round pick for Horn, he would be the latest big-name acquisition for a Cowboys team that this offseason already has acquired linebacker Zach Thomas, cornerback Adam Jones, running back Felix Jones and cornerback Mike Jenkins. Horn could help the Cowboys on and off the field. On the field, Horn is not the receiver he once was, but he still could contribute to Dallas’ high-powered attack. Off it, he could provide an example for the way professionals are supposed to act. Horn is one of the league’s more respected players and the Cowboys locker room would be better with him in it. Dallas is debating the merits of trading for Horn; those efforts could be, and will be, ramped up depending on what happens with Glenn.

Before dating singer Jessica Simpson Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo was lovey dovery will American Idol winner Carrie Underwood.

She is a star in Country music.  Her smash single, Before He Cheats, is a female anthem.

Did Romo cheat on Carrie?   Bang it here to find out.

Jacques Taylor of the Dallas Morning News penned a very nice column on the Cowboys players take on newly acquired corner Adam “Pacman” Jones.

They ain’t taking care of him and he if cuts up, it’s on him.

That’s how they are in that locker room.  I know it, I cover it.   Just like Terrell Owens and Tank Johnson came to Valley Ranch with baggage, the guys in the room never allowed that their past issues to take away from their focus on the field.

Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo taking a bunch of teammates to Mexico with Jessica Simpson during the bye week of the playoffs is another story.

Taylor pens a piece that lets you know how guys think about their new nickel cornerback:

But the players insist they’re not going to be part of Jerry Jones’ security force.

They’re not going to be chaperoning Pacman. Or calling him to make sure he’s home by midnight. Or having the bouncers at various strip clubs phone them when he’s on the premises.

Nor should they. It’s not their responsibility.

Could Mr. “I love me some me” be working on his own reality TV show?

 This Cowboys internet web site says so.

Imagine 30 minutes of T.O. crying for “my quarterback.”    Nah, that’s ok.

T.O. leave the trainwreck TV to Flavor Flav, Hulk Hogan, and Jessica Simpson.

I love reading Peter King each Monday. 

Even if he loves up the Patriots all the time.  And I mean all the time.

He’s got his mock draft up.  Here are his Cowboys 1st round picks:

22. Dallas. RB Rashard Mendenhall, Illinois. Jerry Jones is dancing in the draft room — he didn’t have to trade into the top of the draft for a back, and he ends up with a guy some in our business think is better and a lower risk than Darren McFadden. One question, though: Why couldn’t he beat out Pierre Thomas at Illinois two years ago?

28. Dallas. CB Aqib Talib, Kansas. If the Cowboys can get a veteran receiver in exchange for this pick — Roy Williamswould be the preference — they’ll jump at it. If not, they’ll solve the cornerback need and hope to get an experienced receiver this summer.

Now I see no way Mendenhall falls this far, but Steven Jackson fell to the Cowboys a few years ago and Parcells screwed up and traded out of the spot.

On Talib, I’m not sure if the Cowboys like some of his bad habits on the field.

Get your MMQB on!

Jerry Jones would love to trade a first round pick to the Lions for wide receiver Roy Williams, but the Leos say no way.

Why?

Because last year’s 1st rounder Calvin Johnson has a screwed up back.  Read his horror here.  As told to Tom Kowalski of Booth Newspapers

“I was on meds the rest of the season. I was taking Vicodin twice a game just to get through the game,” Johnson said. “I stayed hurt the whole season, probably because I was trying to come back too soon. But I’m not going to be the kind of guy who’s going to say, ‘I can’t do this or this because I’m hurt.’ ”

Fans did not know how severely Johnson was hurt, and it took the coaching staff some time to realize it, too.

Rick Gosselin of the Dallas Morning News will join me for Sports Extra this Sunday Night at 10:30 on NBC 5.

He just released his second mock draft.  I love it.

He has the Cowboys taking Cal WR DeSean Jackson at 22 and Kansas CB Aqib Talib at #28.
