Raiders sign Jason Witten

[Aven8]

There's so much Gruden/Raiders moves I don't get.

How does Marinelli replace their successful D-line coach after screwing up here and leaving our defensive line in shambles?

Why is Marcus Mariota their top free agent signing?

Why pay Witten $4 million to cry about snaps and take Waller off the field?

Remember at Tampa Gruden was never satisfied with any QB. He brought in like 20 it seemed.

The fact that a lot of "smart" posters here thought Witten deserved to play 77 % of snaps last year and McCarthy basically told him.."That ain't happening again"... gives me a lot of hope in our new coach. He's passed one test from me. Anyone who actually watches the games on TV realized how much Witten was hurting this team on offense. I'm excited for some Jarwin. I expect good things out of him.

And Dorsett as a Bronco.

And Duane Thomas as a Charger, Patriot and Commander.

Yep. And forced Jake Plummer into retirement along the way. It became a joke and now he's at it again. Raiders are scarewed!

 

[Ranching]

I will miss his 4.7 3 yard dash.

I think Gruden is taking one for the ESPN team.

There you go thinking again.

Named my son Witten. I will forever love Jason Witten. Buying my first Raiders jersey

 

[JayFord]

Rooting for you witten!!! Give the afc west the business!!!!

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Wow, minimum wage for a HOFer. Don't hang on too much longer, Witt.

That's pretty much what we paid him and he was our HOFer.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Yes!!!!

 

[JustChip]

And Duane Thomas as a Charger, Patriot and Commander.

Wow, forgot he was with the Patriots.

 

[GMO415]

Good. Don't come back

LOL I just noticed you switched out the face to Garrett, in your sig ... hahhaa.

 

[TwelfthStar]

I always have and always will love him.
But if he thinks he can be TE1, why the Raiders? Darren Waller exists.
And, at this stage of his career, go for a shot at a ring (though there's still the trade deadline). Oakland (yes, I know they moved, but they'll always be Oakland to me) ain't winning the division with Mahomes, and even with the extra WC team the path is just too tough IMO. Not sure how I feel. Kinda sick TBH.

Best of luck. Hope he gets traded to a contender and gets a ring.

 

[aikemirv]

I will hate to see him in another uniform, but if he wanted to play he had to go where he would get an opportunity.

Don't worry - you won't see him. The Raiders are never on TV!

 

[Bullflop]

I think maybe Mike McCarthy wanted Witt if he had been open to accepting a secondary role, as opposed to starting. Evidently, not so.

 

[CowboysExchange]

Well Thank you Lord Jesus. Now we can ELIMINATE THAT DOMINATE 12 PERSONNELL PASSING FORMATION AND EVERYDOWN TE POSITION THAT HAS BEEN TRASH FOR 10+ YEARS.

Maybe use some DUAL SLOT WRS AND DUALRUNNING BACK FORMATIONS WE BEEN SCREAMING FOR YEARS and from Cole Beasely.

THIS IS THE HAPPIEST DAY EVER

 

[Captain-Crash]

dang, I hate to hear that. I named my neighbor's kids "3 toe sloth" after him.

The blowback against Jason Witten is one of the more bizarre things I’ve seen as a Cowboys fan. He did nothing but deliver and be a good teammate in Dallas—all along. It’s time for him to go, but he’s a Cowboys all-timer who deserves so much more respect than he gets.
