Twitter: Garrett trying to convince Witten to stay

Romo already told Witten how sweet a deal broadcasting is, no way Witten comes back, right?

 

[Tangle_Foot]

I understand a bad coach wanting a player he doesn't have to coach. But having to talk a player into staying no matter how good he's been is not the right play call.

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.

Couldn't have said it any better Bob.Thanks for the memories #82!

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

The broadcasting career can wait.

The offer might not present itself again.

 

[ShiningStar]

Witten, take it and run, this team isnt doing anything this season anyway. Let Garrett grow up and be a big boy.


People need to stop bailing him out.

Why would Jason Witten risk his health and the start of a new career to help save the job of his below-average head coach ?

 

[gimmesix]

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.

Maybe because he's still by far the best starting option we have at tight end.

I have no problem moving on from Witten, but I'm certainly not inspired by late-round picks and UDFAs. I hope for the best as always, but the reality is that what we have could be a major step down from even old man Witten.

We don't need Witten that much. Let him go and stop interfering with a golden opportunity.

 

[Diehardblues]

The offer might not present itself again.

The networks will be lined up for Witten when he’s done.

Witten witnessed how hard Garrett wanted Romo to stick around. All joking aside, it is better going out on your own terms than allowing Jones and Garrett to make the decision at some point.

 

[Diehardblues]

Since when do we have more concern about a players personal post football career prospects than what’s best for the Cowboys season?

I’m trying to recall the last time a player retired on his own accord without the threat of being released , traded or an injury?

There’s no shame in Teams ending a players career before they’re ready. These players rarely are ready to walk away from their greatest passion since they were kids. They’ve been trained to be invincible until no one wants them anymore ,not given the opportunity to play or pay them what they’re worth.

 

[Hennessy_King]

Please let the man leave. We need a new era and culture.

 

[Kauboy]

Witten should tell the clapper if you retire as head coach, it's a deal.

 

[Diehardblues]

Please let the man leave. We need a new era and culture.

And that’s all pending on Witten?
Wow

 

[Verdict]

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.

Man you guys are remembering the old Witten from five years ago. His time has passed. I know it's hard to accept but he is done as an effective player.

 

[Hennessy_King]

And that’s all pending on Witten?
Wow

And coaches but Romo dez Witten is a good start

 

[Verdict]

Maybe because he's still by far the best starting option we have at tight end.

I have no problem moving on from Witten, but I'm certainly not inspired by late-round picks and UDFAs. I hope for the best as always, but the reality is that what we have could be a major step down from even old man Witten.

Old man Witten is a HUGE liability in the running game.

As if we are going to the playoffs....
We COULD DO A LOT WORSE!!!!!!!
