Recommended Jason Witten is returning to the Cowboys **merged**

[ItzKelz]

So we’re going to downgrade TE position instead of upgrade....awesome

Comic relief post of this thread.

 

[glimmerman]

I hope he comes back and does great and helps the other TE and team. He comes in and saves a few drives or games and people will change there tunes.

$5 million. Can't believe I had an argument the other day over whether Stephen and Jerry know how to negotiate. What a clown show.

But but, Stephen is really good with contracts!

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

You guys are nuts complaining about 5 million. He’s the immediate starter and our allocation of funds for the TE position is like 6 million.

Witten
Jarwin
Schultz
= 6.5 million

That’s awesome.

 

[KingintheNorth]

What do you think he runs in the 40 now?

a Tuesday.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Meh. Wish it was for 3 Mil, but it covers what Dallas normally does in free agency. Get something that will work so they don't have to reach in the draft.

 

[JayFord]

Why wouldn't it be?

This is dallas sir

 

[Ddisco22]

Just announced.

WOW!
Who comes up with these decisions?

 

[Jipper]

Not sure why folks are downing this move. Hes a tight end and a great route receiver. Its one year. And hes as healthy as he can be.

Solid move.

And he can coach up the young guys...whats not to love

 

[Risen Star]

You know who I really feel sorry for? Anybody within striking distance of Geoff Swaim.

 

[Miller]

I think it’s my fault. A couple of Monday’s ago at Urban Air in Southlake during the holiday I saw him. I patted him on the shoulder as we were watching our kids and told him I appreciated his play with the Boys! Sorry

Now, let's get to work on getting haley to come back and take Gregory's spot.

He’s a below average TE at this point. He’s been out a year. And he costs 5MM apparently.

There is nothing solid about this.

 

[Ddisco22]

That's unfortunate. We need a TE that threatens defenses. Witten ain't it

I agree

 

[Tractor1]

What if he comes back and he's all of a sudden like two steps faster from sitting a year?

Fresh legs Witten.

I may homer out over this.

At two steps faster, he'd still be three steps too slow. Hopefully Kellen's vision for 82 consists of seam routes instead of three yard outs.

LOL playing football is easier than being in the booth. Written must think the Cowboys have a serious shot to win it this year.

 

[cowboyblue22]

No offense but it’s freaking idiotic to eat up 10MM in cap space for Lee and 5MM in cap space for Witten to be essentially player coaches.

This is a dumb organization by any rational measure.

NOW U CAN SEE WHY THIS TEAM IS NOT GOING TO WIN AND HAS NOT WON ANYTHING TO MUCH STUPID TO OVERCOME

 

[AbeBeta]

Replacing Swaim's snaps with Witten while rotating Schultz and Jarwin is a net win. So long as we don't try to use him like we did in the past (i.e., 100% of the snaps), this can be a real addition

 

[CouchCoach]

Does this mean he now has to make a 30 minute resignation speech on ESPN?

Can't wait to see that sillyass toup come off in his helmet.
