Witten hinting at retiring

[Risen Star]

Hey, to me this is the '91 season all over again and Detroit just beat Dallas in the playoffs because the Cowboys defense wasn't good enough.

Of course.

 

[pacy]

This team is doomed. Even with the newbies it's the same old thing, the same mistakes. When we couldn't get to Rogers in 2014 we vowed to fix the pass rush. 2 years later here we are again....we traded Selvie for Mawoya...whopeee!

Well, we tried with Gregory and Hardy but they decided that other stuff is more important.

 

[DCowboyz]

He might. We just cannot get over the hump. We can't.

Well hopefully they realize they can't do it all in the draft.

 

[SDCowboy]

He won't retire...I do for see him going where Tony does tho

Interesting..he may depart with Tony

How do you figure that happens? We aren't trading or releasing Witten.

 

[Cowboys_22]

Whitten is still valuable to this team, hope he returns next year

 

[manster4ever]

Even if they won I couldn't see this defense holding up vs. Ryan and Brady.

It wouldn't have man...it wouldn't have. This wasn't a greek tragedy or anything. It's not like this happened in the Super Bowl. This team and staff have a LOT of improving to do.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Well hopefully they realize they can't do it all in the draft.

The defense isn't that far away. The DT's are decent. They'll draft a couple DE's and sign a middling DE because there is no top-notch DE's available via free agency.

 

[Shuff]

I think he is back, we get some Defensive guys and we will be even better next year.

 

[JoeKing]

Some of you not seeing the reference to retirement are just in denial. Do you ppl not know what "shelf life" means? Wit is done, folks.

Same thing at CB, Carr and Mo. Why we didn't make a play for Jenkins or another quality CB is irritating.

Jerry just sitting on his profits while this defense stinks up the field, year after year.

 

[Avery]

Can't blame him.

 

[Gameover]

Even if they won I couldn't see this defense holding up vs. Ryan and Brady.

Agreed. I still wanted to go to that Championship Game!

 

[Proof]

man... that's crushing to think about. No one deserves a title, but if there was anyone in the league it would be Witt. Ok, I was trying to be positive about about the season, and the future, and the comeback... but damn. Crushing if he goes out. :-(

 

[Word Mofo]

If that's the case, now we really will need to draft a TE.

 

[Qbert]

TBH he probably should, he can't block anymore, the Hyde sack showed that, and he'll be another year older and slower

 

[GIFTS86]

It takes a lot of effort just to get to where we were today and then to waste it like we did has to be tough to even think about doing it all over again just for the oppportunity you already had.

We had the better team and lost to a 1 man band because the defense didn't come out ready.

The whole team had a slow start. I do agree we were the better team. But just out of sync. Had we not been out of sync we would have out scored them for sure. But as always it is what it is

We can finally dump at least Romo's contract, but need to 86 Crawfords as well. That dude is awful!

 

[Gameover]

I was actually thinking about would he retire if we won it all a week or so.

It might be time for Witten to retire. He has lost a lot physically at this point and it probably is tough for him to get his body going every week. He has nothing else left to prove.
