Not allowed to do that.Wonder how a player/coach would be handled under the cap? Would the salary be split in half?
Can't be both.

Aww! You are nuts! You AND Witten are over the hill!All this hully baloo about why Witten came back from the booth to play for us again is so elementary.
People complain he is over the hill,etc.
Nonsense.
Do they not realize he is being groomed as a future assistant coach for TEs after he retires?
Do they not know Sean Lee is being handled the same way in his final year here?
He will be a LBer coach for us.
Both will probably return next year as assistant coaches.
No doubt they have been told this and they have been told to pay attention to their position coaches this season to prepare themselves.
I am all for this.
Garrett and the FO are obviously happy with their progress of former players being coaches like Columbo and Lett and others.
I remember very well Landry taking Ditka and Reeves as assistant coaches and them succeeding in the league themselves.
Also add Jack Del Rio, Ken Norton, Jr and Everson Walls as assistant coaches as former Cowboy players and it's nice to see the influence our franchise has and continues to have.
Of course just look at the broadcast booth for more..Aikman, Jimster, Woody, Moose, Romo, etc.
And Moose did a great job as GM of the recently folded San Antonio Commanders in the AFF.
Like to see us hire him for the FO in some capacity. He was excellent here in SA.

It's nice to be 'vouched'.I vouch for this man.
That's some serious vouching! My vouching tends to not go in that particular direction, but everyone has their own method.It's nice to be 'vouched'.
Haven't been 'vouched' since the 1st GF did it in the front seat of my '66 Mustang.
It was a '''hummer brother".
I don’t hate the move but that’s a lot of salary from our cap for two assistant coaches.
Hire him as a coach then. Players don’t need to be groomed as a player.
Anyone that can make Frankenstein’s monster look agile AND nimble has a talent. I say embrace it.Witten was drowning in the broadcast booth and Jerry threw him a lifeline.
He shouldn't be on the field. He can't run. He makes Frankensteins monster look agile and nimble by comparison.
Jerry should have hired him as a coach and leave it at that.
they both can still play enough to earn their salaries plus the character and leadership will go along way in the locker room , sideline, and huddles.
sure this will give them a stepping stone and way to say goodbye into coaching.. this staff didnt JUST bring them into coach , they both are relatively cheap hasn't the cap and can still play to the compensations level..
I'm with the OP in the sense that the hate and outrage and especially the mocking of two great players who were also great people on and off the field to get that kind of reactions was verty disrespectful..
RIP RG, rip hardy, Mbennett and the likes of that loser DI but Witten and Lee deserve better, Until dez wouldn't leave SM alone and all the payback tweets and ripping teammates he was on my protected list as well but no more he burnt that bridge

mentioned by whom?I believe I suggested them as assistants to their positions..
I did not say immediate replacements for their position coaches.
Coaches in training for future consideration.
This is not a revelation.
Both have been mentioned as coaches before.
how has the last coach in training worked out for the team?I vouch for this man.

Not my point.how has the last coach in training worked out for the team?
I have seen it mentioned in several writers stories.mentioned by whom?
I do not blame Witten for his opportunity. I blame the GM for making that opportunity available.Wonder how a player/coach would be handled under the cap? Would the salary be split in half?
