I'd prefer to see us move on from Witten.

But if this is something that McCarthy is actually on board with such as some sort of assistant coach then I wouldn't be as against it. Just so long as he isn't the primary influence for whatever he is assisting with.

Parcells didn't want veteran hold over from the dynasty teams, maybe McCarthy feels the same way about some older veterans? We'll see I guess.

I would take Witten back as a backup TE and short yardage specialist, but has to be made clear what his role is.

People keep talking about moving on like we have a stable of great TEs available.

Truth is, despite all the hate he gets here, Witten doesnt need athleticism to find soft spots in short yardage zones. He can also still block.

Witten at his age is better than a whole lot of TE2s and TE3s in the league.

Y'all should play more sports, old man game is a thing and you dont underestimate it.

We need a young guy... a solid rookie plus Jarwin plus Witten isnt bad at all.

The only game that is a thing for Witten is a game of shuffle board in a mobile home retirement community down in Florida.

He sucks no matter how you try to spin it.

He doesnt suck as much as the booth, but he sucks.

I agree that it's time to move on.
With that said, I'm just thankful that the Internet wasn't around
when I was young. To just openly criticize a future hall of famer
seems very wrong to me. I know it would've ruined my youth.

Jason Witten Options
1. Retire To a standing ovation and a job well done.
2. Return as a progress stopper to be hated by some.
3. Return to the booth and be the butt of numerous jokes.

It's time, Canton awaits.
Thanks 82 :flagwave:

I think you're going to be getting your wish.

Stop with this blocking fantasy, we don't run outside for a reason (cough). He hasn't been a good blocker for awhile, it's the easy go to to justify him bc of his lacking athleticism, but Zeke ran better last season?

We also don't try to sign any FAs or develop players on the team to replace this easy production due to his presence. We have no other TEs bc he's here hogging up snaps...you could say that wouldn't prevent most teams from improving the position, but that's not what's going on here. Ahhh gotta go with Witten again, we have no one else after not trying to improve the position...shux. :confused:

His yards per catch was 4 yards lower than other TE’s with as many catches. He was on the only team that would have started him last year. His time was up probably 4 years ago. Its not like he’s playing for vet minimum either. Great career. Way past time to go.

The problem is that it can be said all day every day that he'll play a backup roll, which at his age should be the case. That's what was SUPPOSE to happen in 2019. Didn't work out that way. He dominated the snaps. Not sure if that was his insistence, coaches, management, or some combo thereof, but it needs to stop. I don't trust it to stop as long as he's a player for this team, so he has to go..cause he'll go to Jerry and suddenly he's dominating snaps again.

Nope. Sorry...as good as he was and as good of a backup he'd be if he accepted it, he's hampering the progress of the young guys. He needs to go.

I think Mike is going to create a coaching role for JW so Witt can get some coaching experience. Yes JW is not what he used to be but he is a natural leader and it is worth evaluating if he has the ability to coach.
