Terry Glenn traded away to Green Bay
Terry Glenn traded away to Green Bay
March 7, 2001:
Patriots trade WR Terry Glenn to the Green Bay Packers
Trivia Question #1: Who Caught Tom Brady's first NFL touchdown pass?
A: Terry Glenn, in a 29-26 OT win against Doug Flutie and the San Diego Chargers.
All of New England's touchdowns in the previous two games came either on runs (by Antowain Smith or Kevin Faulk), or pick-sixes off Peyton Manning (by Otis Smith and Ty Law).
Trivia Question #2: Who did the Patriots receive in the Terry Glenn trade?
Pats received a 2002 4th round draft pick - which was used on DE Jarvis Green, who played 8 seasons with the Patriots.
New England also received a conditional (4th round, 128th overall) 2003 pick, which was traded to Denver.
(The Broncos they used that on a DE named Bryant McNeal, who never played a down in the NFL.)
The Pats traded up from that Packers '03 pick eight spots to #120 overall, to select CB Asante Samuel.
Friday March 8, 2002:
Packers agree to terms on acquisition of WR Terry Glenn -- Patriots.com
The Green Bay Packers have agreed to terms with the New England Patriots on acquisition of veteran wide receiver Terry Glenn in a draft choice trade, GM/Head Coach Mike Sherman announced today. The necessary paperwork, completed late this afternoon, has been forwarded to the National Football League for approval Monday when the trade is expected to become official, Sherman said.
The 27-year-old Glenn, who will be coming to Green Bay in exchange for an unconditional fourth round selection in the 2002 draft and a conditional, performance-based choice in the 2003 draft, is the fourth-ranking receiver in New England's 42-year league history with 329 career catches.
Glenn, 5-11 and 193 pounds, also ranks among the Patriots' all-time top ten in both receiving yards (fifth with 4,669) and receiving touchdowns (ninth with 22).
A first-round draft selection out of Ohio State in 1996 (he was the second wide receiver chosen in the draft, following Keyshawn Johnson, first overall) when he was the seventh player chosen overall, Glenn also is one of only two receivers in New England annals to have posted multiple 1,000-yard seasons. He amassed 1,132 yards in 1996 to set a New England rookie record and a career-high 1,147 yards in 1999, a year in which he was named to the AFC Pro Bowl squad. Stanley Morgan is New England's career leader with three 1,000-yard receiving seasons.
In that baptismal, '96 season, Glenn missed the season opener but still managed to set an NFL reception record for rookies with 90 catches. The 90 receptions rank second among the Patriots' all-time single-season reception leaders. Ben Coates is the only Patriot who has caught more passes in a single season (96, in 1994).
The possessor of thirteen 100-yard receiving games, a total which ranks second on the Patriots' all-time list, the seventh-year professional also established franchise receiving records at Cleveland in 1999 (October 3) when he caught 13 passes for 214 yards, thus becoming the first Patriot ever to surpass the 200-yard receiving plateau.
Two years earlier, Glenn established postseason career-highs with 5 receptions for 96 yards in New England's divisional playoff game at Pittsburgh (January 3, 1998) before leaving the game with a broken clavicle.
Coming out of high school in his native Columbus, Ohio, Glenn passed up scholarship offers from other schools to stay home and "walk on" at Ohio State, where he went on to establish himself as one of the premier Buckeye receivers of all-time. He set Ohio State single-season reception records as a junior with 1,411 yards and 17 touchdowns, breaking the previous marks of 1,127 yards and 11 touchdowns set by Cris 'have a fall guy in your crew' Carter in 1986 and the 11 touchdowns by Joey Galloway in 1993.
ESPN.com: NFL - Done deal: Packers pick up Glenn from Patriots -- ESPN.com
The Green Bay Packers acquired troubled wide receiver Terry Glenn from New England on Friday.
"Terry brings another dimension to our receiving corps," Packers coach and general manager Mike Sherman said. "I am enthused to get him here and have him become a part of this team."
The Packers gave the Patriots a fourth-round pick in the 2002 draft, plus a pick next year that will depend on Glenn's performance. The selection in 2003 can be no lower than in the fourth round and no higher than a second-rounder.
No monetary terms of the contract were announced, but Glenn is likely to receive a signing bonus of about $3 million and his base salaries might be augmented by some incentive clauses, reported ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli.
"I'm looking forward to being a part of this storied tradition that so many football fans follow with such incredible passion," Glenn said in a statement. "To play for Coach Sherman and in the same offense with Brett Favre is a great opportunity."
Some sports new headlines leading up to the trade:

A trade for Terry? Patriots actively trying to deal wide receiver
www.milforddailynews.com
According to NFL sources, the Patriots are in active trade talks at the college scouting combine in Indianapolis regarding the oft-troubled veteran receiver. It's not known what teams the Pats are talking to or what the compensation would be, but it does appear as though a deal could be struck soon.
It was unclear last night where he would be headed, but Oakland has traditionally taken on problem players. Glenn, a Columbus, Ohio, native, would also appear to be a fit for Cleveland. Green Bay is also said to have interest in the receiver's services.
Glenn became embroiled in a contract dispute with the Pats last offseason after violating the league's substance abuse policy.

Patriots notebook: Glenn trade on hold
www.milforddailynews.com
As of last night, a deal was not imminent.
Looming in the background is Glenn's salary grievance against the Pats concerning the treatment of his $11.5 million signing bonus. That grievance is set to be heard Friday and next Monday in Boston. The Pats will be unable to trade Glenn (they would take a salary cap hit of more than $8 million) unless they win the grievance or Glenn drops the matter.
While Glenn's agent Jimmy Gould said the situation is "out of my hands," he has apparently been cleared by the Pats to shop his client around the league. It's possible Glenn would agree to rip up his Patriots contract contingent on getting a new deal with Green Bay. Gould pulled a similar maneuver in 1998 in getting defensive lineman Dan Wilkinson out of his Cincinnati contract and to the Washington Redskins in a trade.

Patriots having trouble moving Glenn, Bledsoe
The Green Bay Packers are interested in trading for Terry Glenn. The New England Patriots are interested in getting Glenn out of town. Then comes the small print. Glenn is virtually untradeable u…
www.southcoasttoday.com
Glenn went AWOL during training camp, refused to practice and eventually was suspended for the rest of the season.
Glenn's contention is that, because he suffers from depression, he has trouble keeping appointments. He and his lawyers are counting on the Americans With Disabilities Act to protect him. They believe if depression is recognized as a disability, then the Patriots will be bound to honor his original deal.
If Glenn wins his grievance, the Patriots will take an $8.5-million hit against their salary cap when they trade him. Glenn is reportedly willing to drop the issue if the team the Pats trade him to will give him a signing bonus that will help him recoup most of his lost money. Reportedly, he's looking for a $7-million bonus, which few teams will be willing to give.

Possibility of Pats trading Glenn hits some hurdles
Despite plenty of buzz here about a trade that would sent disgruntled New England wide receiver Terry Glenn to the Green Bay Packers, there remain several hurdles that must be navigated for a deal to be made.
a.espncdn.com
Glenn wants a new contract from Green Bay and the asking price is said to begin with a signing bonus of $7 million. That would permit Glenn, the Patriots' first-round choice in the 1996 draft, to recapture much of the compensation he forfeited in 2001 because of his suspensions.
The Patriots reportedly are talking to Green Bay, Kansas City, Oakland, Carolina, and Cleveland, and there may be other teams interested in Glenn. New England has given Gould permission to speak to any team interested in Glenn.
The Packers, who are rebuilding their receiver corps and covet a player with Glenn's estimable physical talents, have balked at that proposal. Part of the attractiveness of Glenn is his current contract, which calls for very modest base salaries of $675,000 (2002), $1.065 million (2003), $1.45 million (2004), $1.34 million (2005), $1.73 million (2006) and $3.04 million (2007).
Green Bay might be willing to adjust some of those numbers but the Packers, even with their needs, aren't going to be fiscally irresponsible, particularly for a player with Glenn's history. The Packers likely will lose wide receivers Bill Schroeder and Corey Bradford in free agency and are asking Antonio Freeman to restructure his contract or face the possibility of being released.

Concessions made, so Glenn deal in the works
Just two days after it appeared several complications would at least stall, or even kill, a trade of malcontent wide receiver Terry Glenn from the New England Patriots to the Green Bay Packers, the two sides moved very close to a deal Tuesday night.
a.espncdn.com
For the trade to be consummated, Glenn must drop the various grievances he filed against the Patriots, and he apparently has agreed to that stipulation. An arbitration hearing is scheduled for Friday, but will be canceled if Glenn drops the grievances.
Without such an agreement, the Pats would be forced to absorb a salary cap hit of about $8 million, a total that represents the remaining pro-rated share of the $11.5 million signing bonus Glenn got when he signed a pricey contract extension two years ago. Because he was suspended on three different occasions in 2001, the team has withheld scheduled installments on the bonus.
Until the contract demands were reduced, the Packers, who are rebuilding their receiver corps and covet a player with Glenn's talents, had balked at his proposals. A part of the attractiveness of Glenn is his current contract, which calls for modest base salaries of $675,000 (2002), $1.065 million (2003), $1.45 million (2004), $1.34 million (2005), $1.73 million (2006) and $3.04 million (2007).
Those base salaries apparently would be adjusted if the trade is completed.
