He should go the chiefs if he can. Have a chance to win one. Why bother getting pummeled in NY? The Giants are going to suck for a long time. They really are only in the middle of this suck cycle. Garrett as OC guarantees Jones will regress. It will take Garret 2 seasons to undermine the rookie coach. Then Garrett can coach the Giants into oblivion for years.
Yup.Does he want to be earn a roster spot on an NFL team based on his performance on the field, or be handed one due to relationships and nepotism? Sounds like the latter.
Or perhaps he doesn't want to learn a whole new offense at this stage in his career. He just wants to play.Does he want to be earn a roster spot on an NFL team based on his performance on the field, or be handed one due to relationships and nepotism? Sounds like the latter.
No chance he joins the Giants.
He’s not sniffing snaps from Evan Engram or Kaden Smith.
So a 3rd option for a terrible team?
Yup.
Brehs y'all see what's going on here? Witten was planning to retire because he EXPECTED Jerry to hand him a coaching job, if not THE head coaching job (I believe all those reports from Nick Eatman/Ben Rogers about him fighting for the head coach job behind the scenes). Now, I'm guessing McCarthy humbled him - told him he could have a QC position or come back as a player in a secondary role. But that's not how Witten rolls. He's always gotten what he's wanted with this franchise. He feels entitled for more and is taking his ball home and running back to his comfort blanket Garrett. This is the cabal of nepotism that has had a stranglehold on this franchise for a decade and what T.O. was warning us about a long time ago. @WillieBeamen @stilltheguru @The Natural
Maybe, but Emmitt was clearly washed up even during his last years here. Witten can still get open for firsts, just a matter of playcalling. He won't get the YAC but he'll move the chains.
