I saw the news of this extension at another site an literally groaned aloud. How the mighty have fallen...

From ESPN:

There is no guaranteed money in the deal, but the Cowboys have the right to restructure his $7.4 million base salary this year to create nearly $4 million in room. The money can come in handy if the Cowboys have the opportunity to acquire a difference-maker in a trade later this offseason or even during the season.

Interesting. So we've set it up where we pay Witten and don't have any dead cap hit unless we need some of the money for a FA move.

Witten signed a four-year extension through 2021 on Tuesday that maxes out at $29.6 million

The FO had money to burn and no one to spend it on. Why give a boatload to your "all time" TE star Jason the man.

After this season, he's No. 3.

 

[Scotman]

I am not sure he couldn't get open if he was using a walker.

 

[Trouty]

I am so sick of this Saint Jason crap.

What is this The Notebook? Move on. The guy is in rapid decline and limits the offense.

Not a damn man on this earth that saw that with their lady that didn't secretly love it. I don't care. Facts.

 

[Stash]

If we offer him 5m per say. How does that work? We pay 5 and Jets pay 1?

Yes. And he gets the same $6 million for doing work or $6 million for not lifting a finger. Which one do you think he'd choose? Which one would you choose if you're being honest?

37 receptions and he moves to third all time. Of course Fitz will catch a few, who will outlast who?

Witten has found the Tom Brady fountain of youth and isn't going to retire until Tom does.

 

[Bowdown27]

Jason is loyal as they come and this deal works out well for us.

sure he will be open.
he would wack someone in the shins with the walker so all the db's would stay far away.

He will be #4 when all is said and done. Fitz isn't going anywhere and I don't think either will eclipse Rice or TG.

NYG fans can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel

Pretty much. Another one of these offseason non-issues for people to complain about before they understand what happened or why it was done.

Oh, draft. Hurry up and get here.

I love how much Giants fans hate Witten.

It's not like he's going to get any slower.

Might be your best post ever.

I'm too lazy to read 7 pages..any word on what cap room this creates now?
