So we paid him that much to be a part time player? Awesome!

I’m guessing just like everyone else is.

Quit crying all day every day.

 

[cowboy_ron]

Not really surprised, he didn't seem comfortable in the booth.

 

[McKDaddy]

Yeah I though the young'uns were starting to look pretty decent towards the end of the season. Unless Witt is going to be there for coaching mostly I don;t see the benefit. never liked being a yard short on 3rd down 70% of the time..

This coach is costing you a roster spot. Yeah!

 

[Sydla]

Wow! Progress stopper?? Seriously? Who is he going to bump aside Jarwin? Swaim? One's a FA the other had one good game and if you have listened to any of our so-called experts on the site they have all indicated we need a TE in the draft. I'd play him day one. Down one. Can you say down the seam? Let's go Wit!!

Put your sarcasm hat on.

 

[ShortRound]

Lame duck coach
Two suspensded players
No first round pick
Crazy extensions being bandied about
And now Witten is unretiring

Weirdest offseason in a while

Watch Dez come back

 

[Toruk_Makto]

He is not the cowboy broadcaster we need but the one we deserve.

 

[Blackspider214]

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

Lmao! You really must not know Witten. Never once in his career has he ever did this. It's all about him. He's not teaching anyone anything. He looks out after himself and that's it. T.O. already spoke on that but many brushed it off because it was T.O. Martellus Bennett spoke on it as well. We have had young TE's behind Witten his whole time here and when did they ever develop? Never. Why? Because he takes all the reps in practice and game time.

This is a terrible move. It's the typical couple who gets back together because it's comfortable for each other.

 

[TheCoolFan]

Well he can witness Garrett's last season as head coach in person then

 

[aikemirv]

What do we care? It's someone else's money.

The only reason I care is that 5 million may be the difference in getting a quality FA.

 

[phildadon86]

Sure.

But they are paying him starting TE money.

3.5 Million?

 

[Stash]

God #$-_, why did I have to start that aggressive offseason thread? This is not what I meant.

 

[BigCatMonaco]

2017.
63 catches
560 yards
5 TDs.


Those are essentially the same stats of the the 7th-10th best TEs last season.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

This lends a lot of credence to the reports (denied by all) that the team was trying to get him to come back during the 2018 season.

Exactly, meaning this should surprise no one...

 

[Sydla]

Ahhhh.

Getting better.

Hope to see a John Clayton tweet in 10 minutes that says we are paying him 1MM.

 

[CPanther95]

Why would you say that it was "completely my decision" - would people think the Cowboys forced him to come back?

Me thinks he's hiding the fact that ESPN strongly wanted him to look for other opportunities.

 

[Miller]

At least we are adding speed at the position to stretch the middle of the field

 

[Outlaw Heroes]

The only reason I care is that 5 million may be the difference in getting a quality FA.

Yeah. Totally agree. Was just mocking some of the crap that gets thrown out around here.

 

[Doomsday77]

Maybe we can get Charles Haley out of retirement to fill Gregory's spot?

You don't think he could get to the QB more than 6 times in a year even now?? LOL AND he won't get suspended.
