Twitter: Garrett trying to convince Witten to stay

Something like, "play one more and teach me like Romo used to so I can keep my job. I'll even let you call plays in the huddle like Romo did."

 

[bayeslife]

Lolz he’s like “cmon man it’s my last year anyway one more for old times sake”

Like Moose said.. those jobs only become available every 15 years. Take the job Witten.

 

[TheCritic]

Why? No offense to Witten, but he's done. No way he comes back. Besides, the other TEs deserve an opportunity. Let's move on.

Espn is not going to give him the job snubbing them for such a high profile job.

Garrett may be one of the biggest reasons he wants to retire.

 

[_sturt_]

That multiple offers are filtering through should be some reassurance to Witten that this isn't now or never for his broadcast career.

Sure, they might hire someone at MNF who will be there many, many years. Then again, it might get back to how it was pre-Gruden, and it seemed new booth personnel were showing up with some regularity.

Total guess... maybe this second offer is from Fox for Thursday Night... I know it was said Buck/Aikman would not be expected to take that on, but I'm not aware that they've announced who would (?).

Time for both sides to say bye. I'm sure 82 will be great in the booth.

Garrett, think of his longterm future not your own............Witten, consider what's best for you and your family.....not what this moron says to save his career for another year.

Garrett talking to a Garrett guy

Get lost witten.

 

[SoupcanSam]

Garrett is an emotional idiot.

 

[xwalker]

It's time to go once you've thought about it.

The team probably should have moved on anyway.

It's better PR if Witten leaves instead of being cut next year.

 

[Tabascocat]

Please no, out with the old and in with the new. His mind is already retired and his body is not far behind. Like they say, once ya start thinking it...........you are done.

 

[Vinnie2u]

Witten got a lil Favre in him.

 

[Bobhaze]

When you have given your body over to the full contact and rigor of the NFL for 15 years, a man has a right to say, “that’s it.”

It’s his body, his life and his family. I love #82 and I hope he rides off into the sunset straight into the booth. He’s headed to Canton someday. Got nothing to prove and owes nothing.

Needs to clap harder! Clap Witten while hes in bed!

 

[Diehardblues]

I don’t blame Garrett. I’d be trying to convince Witten too.

The broadcasting career can wait.

 

[Diehardblues]

We don’t have anyone to replace Wittens production and presence at this time.

Someone else is going to have to take over false starts on 3rd and 3. The torch has been passed.
