FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PACKERS AGREE TO TERMS ON ACQUISITION OF WIDE RECEIVER TERRY GLENN
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.
Glenn will be introduced to the Wisconsin sports media at a press conference
on Saturday, March 9, scheduled for 1:30 p.m. in the media auditorium of the
Packers' administration building.
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).
"I am pleased to announce the acquisition of Terry Glenn in a trade with the
New England Patriots," Sherman said. "Terry brings another dimension to our
receiving corps. He has indicated to me in my conversations with him an
intense desire to play at Lambeau Field in front of the Green Bay Packers'
fans. I am enthused to get him here and have him become a part of this
team."
"I'm excited to join the Green Bay Packers," said Glenn. "I'm looking
forward to being a part of the storied tradition that so many football fans
follow with such incredible passion. To play for Coach Sherman and in the
same offense with Brett Favre is a great opportunity. I want to contribute
to the team in every way I can and help the Packers get to the championship
level."
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 Carter in 1986 and the 11
touchdowns by Joey Galloway in 1993.
Along the way, Glenn posted a school single-game record when he caught 9
passes for 253 yards (an imposing 28.1-yard average) and 4 touchdowns in a
game at Pittsburgh; he also had 17 yards rushing, 16 yards in punt returns
and 29 yards on a kickoff return for a total of 315 all-purpose yards in the
54-14 triumph over Pitt.
Glenn, who entered the NFL draft following that record-breaking junior
season, was accorded the Fred Biletnikoff Award, given annually to the top
collegiate wide receiver in the nation.
Earlier, he attended Brookhaven High School in Columbus, where he was
co-captain of the football team as a senior and led Brookhaven to an 11-2
record as well as a chance to compete in the state playoffs. He closed out
the year with 416 yards and 4 touchdowns on only 14 receptions (a 29.7-yard
average).
Glenn, a history major at Ohio State, is the father of a 5-year-old son,
Terry, Jr. Off the field, he was one of the Patriots' leading donors to the
team's Thanksgiving Adopt-a-Family program in 1999 and 2000.
