I think the people who hate this decision are being shortsighted.
Future HOF TE Jason Witten coming back to provide veteran leadership and positional strategy for our young guys is a big bonus. He could still run the Y-option effectively and could still get open during critical moments a couple seasons ago. He's in great shape. I doubt his production will fall off at all. I bet it even goes up. He's always been able to beat his guy without speed. He doesn't need it.
He's also our best blocking TE. With a rejuvenated O-line and now Wit, just watch Zeke go.
That said, I think he should accept much less than 5 mil if he really wants a crack at a ring. Maybe half that. It's going to put the team in a money bind otherwise.
