Witten had the best no helmet play ever for a Cowboy.

Hell of a career. Good to see him go out as he came in. A Cowboy.
I loved seeing old Witten dusting the Giants twice per year. Heck of a player
He should have retired last season and could have been one of the few HOF players to spend their entire career with the same team. He stayed around one year too long catching only 13 passes for 69 yards this season and 2 TDs. He’s probably regretting the decision to go to the Raiders. He basically has to retire, no team would be interested.
His bank account says otherwise.

Jerry should absolutely put Witt, Romo, and DWare in the ROH at once next season.
Romo? Romo deserves an Emmy, The Sports Emmy Awards

Dez deserves the type of ceremony Witten got after his first departure.
I love me some Dez, I can't wait to see him in the ROH, #88

Romo doesn't belong in Canton, but he absolutely deserves a Star in Frisco. He put it all on the line.
He absolutely belongs in Canton, in about ten years his body of work between player/broadcasting will deserve honors in the HOF, I love me some Romo.

You’ll be waiting forever because he’s never going to get in. He had a good career in Dallas but not a ROH career.
Don't be a dream killer. A small tear was shed after reading this about my man Dez.

Doubt they’ll be a big tearful ceremony for his retirement this time around.

Absolutely.

There is something to be said for leading the most storied franchise in football in almost every statistical passing category when you're standing in the shadow of two HOF QBs.

Romo doesn't belong in Canton, but he absolutely deserves a Star in Frisco. He put it all on the line.

Leads the franchise in TD receptions and only had 4.5ish years of healthy prime.

If he doesn't get in, it's non football related.

He had 3 stellar seasons in 8 seasons with the Cowboys and we never won a playoff game with him. He will not get into the ROH because his career wasn’t worthy of that honor. Leading the franchise in TD receptions isn’t good enough. The two number 88’s that are in the ROH have championship rings and one is in the Hall of Fame and the other will soon be inducted.

He was a great player who put up great stats, but was he really a leader? No. We had 2 playoff wins with him.

Did you miss the 2014 Detroit WC game?

He definitely wasn't a winner. He was content with being a company man and going home. He was part of the problem.

He should do a podcast with Booger called “Deep NFL Thoughts”
