Wonder how man times he will come up 1 yard short for the Raiders.
I'm just glad we won't have to see comments like that 100 times in game threads, even when it doesn't happen.

Jason Witten in a Raiders uniform just looks plain weird
Longtime Dallas Cowboy Jason Witten signed with the Las Vegas Raiders this offseason, and his new threads will take some getting used to Witten, who rejoin...

Damn that's cold. He's a legend.Actually suits him well. Should've been a Raider 3 years ago.
Good riddance
He's got the right to do whatever he wants, assuming someone will hire him. That's not the point that I made.Why shouldn't every player have the right to make their own choices, and what make a fan more qualified to make those choices than the player themselves?
Ultimately, so what if he wasn't as effective as he was in the better part of his career? He wanted to play, and he played hard and had good intentions, so what is there to feel animosity about? The coaches are the ones that had the decision to play him or scale him back more.
Even if it does tarnish the reputation, which I don't understand anyway, so what? It's his choice if he wants to play - like you said as long as a team wants him.He's got the right to do whatever he wants, assuming someone will hire him. That's not the point that I made.
The point is that an old Jason Witten waddling 5 yards downfield to waddle around and catch a pass--if he holds on to it--tarnishes the reputation and the memory of the special player that he was.
Like the man said, you got to know when to hold them, know when to fold them, and know when to walk away.
disrespectful M F!!Actually suits him well. Should've been a Raider 3 years ago.

yup Montanan played for the chiefs, Emmitt for the cardinals, Farve for the vikings, Manning to Denver, Ware to denver, and many more notable hof stars that moved around at least JW went to the afc and not in our division..he could have ended up with Garett in NY, now that would have been hard to swallow.Even if it does tarnish the reputation, which I don't understand anyway, so what?

Besides, why should he spend even an iota of his time worrying if some unknown people who should have no impact on his life or happiness forget what he was or thinks less of him because, like all of us, his body can't perform at 38 the way it did at 25? His focus is, and should be, on his own happiness. I doubt anyone that watched him in his prime will forget anyway, and neither will HOF voters.

I’m not as sold as some on MM. I think most coaches would succeed offensively with this roster, there’s zero excuses even for the first year, but I need to see what he can do without one of the best QB’s kn the game. There have been several games I’ve seen him coach when I wasn’t overly impressed, including the playoff game in 2016 when he almost let us come back and win because he got to conservative in the 2nd half. If Rodgers wasn’t his QB and calling his own plays he would have most likely lost that game.
Our defense is also extremely over rated IMO. We lost one of the best corner backs in the league which fans seem to minimize because he didn’t get INT’s, he only took out half the field and the other teams best receiver. We lost our sack leader which fans minimize because he wasn’t good against the run. Some fans assume LVE will return to his rookie form when he was playing horribly before his injury last year and is now potentially one hit away from retirement. Jaylon is extremely over rated and Dlaw didn’t do jack last year. We got two new guys for the interior but this is a passing league and we still have several other areas of concern.
Once again, we lead the league as next years paper champions.
Yeah I blame Garret before I blame Witten. He doesn't deserve the hate. This fanbase has blurred who to root for and who not to. IMO, Dez and Witten both get treated much harsher than they should. Well, at least on this site.Yeah, hard to understand hate for Witten... Not his fault people kept him on the field past his prime. They played him, not like he had the power to force them to.
Witten also was a safety valve, and was still good at that. Just YAC is horrible... But YAC wasn't so much a thing with TEs until we started seeing these hybrid TE/WR types
all over the place.

Jason Garrett for sure. Jason Witten can’t put in that conversationHe sat with the coaches at lunch (figuratively).
That's not who I wanted in the locker room. Parcells Witten sure, not Garrett Witten..he became everything we didn't like about the culture in the locker room if anything.
Nevermind re-read your post.because of witten, tony romo will make it to the hall of fame. when he introduces witt to the crowd.
