Twitter: Garrett trying to convince Witten to stay

[Diehardblues]

I’ve been around these players most of my life. They never want to quit .

You either have to cut them or carry them off on a stretcher.

 

[_sturt_]

Romo is to a 2016 4th round pick as Witten is to a 2018 4th round pick?

Yes?

Because, if not, I don't get the enthusiasm for pushing the guy toward his gold watch moment.

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

The broadcasting career can wait.

It actually can’t wait.

These guys keep these jobs forever.

 

[charron]

Why would we want to keep the all around best tight end on this roster. Best hands on the team, best blocking TE, most reliable.

Hey Jason, Do yourself a favor and take the network job.

 

[Cowboy Brian]

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."

Offensive Coordinator in 2019. Make it happen.

Dennis Miller and Tony Kornheiser didn’t, though I’m Sure the job won’t be around next year and Witten might not be offered it when it is available again.

 

[CWR]

One of the absolute best things Witten does for this team is lead. He is at a point in his career where his leadership will be harder to replace than his play on the field.

 

[Idgit]

Hope he stays. I have zero interest in him as a commentator, and he’s the best TE on our roster.

I don’t know what crack y’all are smoking, but it helps the team and the booth will always be there.

On the money.

What is everyone thinking?

 

[ShortRound]

Garett needs the locker room leadership.

TOTAL desperation move....let him go Clapping Carrot, you've screwed up enough things. Let Schultz get one year under his belt for the new HC in 2019 after you fail again.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

It's been reported that Witten's been getting strange calls around midnight of someone just clapping in quick succession for 5-10 seconds and then just hanging up.

 

[TwoDeep3]

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

There will be a job for Witten after football in a booth or a studio.

There was a time when this team seemed to struggle to get into the Hall of Fame, yet every Steeler, including the water boy were first ballot choices.

This team will be dominating the color men soon enough. If Sean Lee doesn't go into coaching, then he will also be in a booth.

One more year, Jason. And teach Schultz the phrase, "I catch everything."

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten continues to contemplate his decision to retire in order to join ESPN's Monday Night Football broadcast team, but a source said another network has made an "interesting" last-minute proposal that is also being pondered by Witten.

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett is actively trying to persuade Witten to play a 16th season in 2018, a team source said.

------young TE to mentor

Young TE to mentor ONLY in practice.....no thanks!!!

 

[Cowpolk]

10 MILLION GUARANTEED AND A COACHING JOB FOR THE NEXT 5 YEARS AT 3 MILLION PER YEAR

 

[Zman5]

Romo to Witten:

"Screw JG. Go take the job Witt. JG will backstab you once he thinks the younger TE can replace you."

 

[Ranching]

Hope he stays. I have zero interest in him as a commentator, and he’s the best TE on our roster.

I don’t know what crack y’all are smoking, but it helps the team and the booth will always be there.

Bench them all!!!!!! Id like to see him come back. Jerry should offer him a FO position to stay.
