Cowboys sign 3 more draft picks

OXNARD, Calif. - Only veteran receiver Terry Glenn and the team's two first-round draft choices remained unsigned by the Dallas Cowboys after three more of their draft picks signed contracts Thursday, the day the team reported to California for training camp.

Glenn has refused to sign an injury waiver that would reduce his salary from $1.74 million to $500,000 if he hurt his right knee again and was unable to play. The 34-year-old receiver wasn't scheduled to be on the team's charter flight from Texas on Thursday.

The Cowboys also haven't come to terms with running back Felix Jones from Arkansas or cornerback Mike Jenkins from South Florida.

Signing Thursday were tight end Martellus Bennett, a second-round pick from Texas A&M; running back Tashard Choice, a fourth-round pick from Georgia Tech; and linebacker Erik Walden, a sixth-round pick from Middle Tennessee State.

Cornerback Orlando Scandrick, a fifth-round pick from Boise State, signed a four-year deal Wednesday. He was the first of the team's draft picks to sign.

Glenn didn't play until the regular season finale last season, when he got a $5 million roster bonus, after having two operations on this right knee.
