Big MM will decide what to do with Witt .

Love Wiitt, but man he is a real slow runner.

 

[Wolfpack]

He’s close to ex-stalker girlfriend territory now.

 

[Hook'em#11]

Thanks for everything. Best of luck on your new team.

Montana ended with the Chiefs.

Maybe its time we let Witten walk .

 

[Silly]

One of his best games was with the Chiefs too.

 

[Nexx]

Please no

15-20% Snaps? Sure.

Witten is still a pretty good blocker and catcher. Problem is he has slowed down tremendously with age. If he's willing to take a veteran minimum and a backup/part-time role, I would be ok with he coming back for another year.

Love the guy. HOFer. Needs to retire.

Dallas needs new blood at TE. I hope they land a new starter in the first 3 rounds of the draft this year.

 

[movaughn88]

Absolutely not, please don't be dumb, Mike McCarthy.

Jerry - sober up and let him walk, for the love of God.

You’d think some of these guys care about their legacy. I’d gladly take him for third and short plays only, but he’ll never accept that role. Just retire man

Love Witten, but it is time to move on.

Love Witten, but it is time to move on.

Agree! Incredible career but I'm a little over it. We really will never be able to see what we can do at that position with him loitering around. Try elsewhere or hang it up.

Good luck with your new team....................A new coaching staff needs fresh young players/faces.....................

Why would he do that?

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Get on with your life Witten!

 

[America's Cowboy]

Why would he do that?

I believe Witten feels he can still play another year or two and very likely would like to finish his career as a lifelong Cowboy. I also believe he thinks this team has a very good chance to not only make the playoffs in 2020 but also go far in the playoffs under this whole new coaching staff, so he definitely would like to be a part of that...if McCarthy is willing to keep him on board.

 

[JW82]

Part of me wants to see him have a chance to play for an NFL coach as he did with Parcels, but he really needs to hang’m up.

Can use a roster spot for an average blocker at best, whose specialty is catching 5 yard passes.

Just go rest up for the Hall in 5 years.

It is hilarious that some of these post points toward Witten being a problem on this team last season. Witten is not even in the top 100 problems that this team needs to fix.
