Eric Ebron would be better, assuming he's healthy
Hopefully we follow the Panthers lead and part ways with Witten as well.Olsen is to the Panthers like Witten is to the Cowboys. Great players years ago but past their prime these days. Would’ve loved to have him here 5 years ago.
Leaving panthers. Too old?
the whole point of Witten leaving was that he was a progress stopper, a show stopper... and my avatar on theranch was Jason Witten for over ten years. I'm a huge fan of Witten... but it is what it is.
Olsen will be the same. What is wrong with Blake Jarwin, the former WR converted to TE... playing in a WC system blended with the Air system?
I bet we don't draft a TE until the later rounds and maybe UDFA. Olsen will just get in Blake's way. Blake is an explosive weapon.

Who's progress was Witten stopping? Its not like he stopped us from drafting anyone. We didnt have a TE on our roster capable of blocking a boston terrier. So signing Witten made sense last year. You also need 3 capable TE's on almost any roster. Especially one that loves to run the ball like we do. IF Jarwin didn't get on the field enough it was because he blocks like a 16 year old girl.
I rather keep witten in that case!!Leaving panthers. Too old?
Witten has slowed the progress of every te on the cowboys from pro bowler and superbowl winner martellus Bennett to the present day with his selfishness .Who's progress was Witten stopping?

Injury prone. Old. No.
Jarwin is our starter next year. People need to quit trying to replace him. He's cheap and he makes plays.
Witten was definitely stopping the more explosive Jarwin, he got way too many balls thrown his way. Witten got 529 yards on 82 attempts.. 6.3 ypa... Blake is at 8.9, basically 9 yards an attempt. Easily the more explosive TE at this point.
You act as if Witten can still block like he could a decade ago. Even his PFF grade on the season is atrocious(59.4). Witten deserved snaps over a younger, faster, taller, more promising player? Jarwin is more explosive, has a higher ceiling and brings almost twice the volume in the passing game. He can improve his run blocking. I don't see your point.
"run the ball like we do"...
right. because that's what we did as Dak chucked up 5k yards last year. we ran the ball.
