Recommended Jason Witten is returning to the Cowboys **merged**

[LatinMind]

Sorry, when was the last seam pass you saw thrown to Witten. It was a staple during the Romo era. But it's not a pass I've seen Dak throw much, if ever.

2017 would’ve been 2018 but he didn’t play

 

[mattjames2010]

He literally would’ve been a top 10 TE this last season with his most recent stats.

In WHAT stats? Show me. Show me his 3rd down catch rate, show me comparable to yards after a catch, show me broken tackles, show me to longest catch.

Where would he be ranked there? "Total yards and targets" are not a good indicator to how he played in 2017.

D-Ware chimes in!

 

[Rayman70]

You win the thread.

is that Roger stone running? lol...sorry guys...only kidding..

 

[Gameover]

Great!

 

[Risen Star]

Eifert ,witten, jarwin? That would be interesting and wouldn't cost much.

Never happen. The TE position is fully stocked for 2019.

 

[Rayman70]

D-Ware chimes in!

is DWARE actually thinkin about it too? lol..

 

[Bowdown27]

Great!

Wow this is shaping up to be some day already lol I was walking into Cowboys fit when I received the Witten update. Love wit

 

[OmerV]

Wow!!! I love Jason Witten, but do you think he has anything left in his tank?

I imagine he has enough in the tank to play about 50% of the snaps, and if that's all he does, and Jarwin is the main receiving TE, I have no problem with him being on the team. He would undoubtedly be a good person for Jarwin and Schultz to learn from, plus he will eliminate the need to find a 3rd TE in either the draft or free agency. But if they want to use him as the primary TE taking the majority of the snaps I think the team will be taking a step back.

 

[Reverend Conehead]

This is a huge surprise.

 

[erod]

If they want him back as a coach then pay him to coach, not play. This is a horrible move unless it's for the veteran minimum or close to it.

1 year, $5 million was the deal.

 

[Risen Star]

Now when he gets creamed across the middle on a poorly thrown Prescott pass his helmet and his hair piece can fly off.

Imagine that moment. It'll be Go Cowboys all around.

 

[Rayman70]

we gonna find out

 

[cowboy_ron]

He really wasn’t good at it
If used properly he can help with the development of the young guys but if he’s getting half or more of the snaps that’s only hurting

I agree...even Zeke said "welcome back coach".......I think he could very well be our TE's coach when he does decide to fully retire.

 

[Risen Star]

Well yeah because you have to get Blake Jarwin involved in the game.

 

[CATCH17]

Last season only 7 TEs had more catches than 35 year old 2017 witten did.

Last season only 6 TEs scored more TDS than 35 year old witten did.

And only 11 TEs had more yards.



They also came out and said he wouldn’t be taking 98% of snaps again coming back.

And he's making 5 million dollars which would have probably paid for a younger Tyler Eifert who is a better player then him at this point.


It's not a bad move bringing Witten back but it does nothing. Dallas should've looked for a more dynamic player but they just went with an old guy that can't stretch the defense out.

 

[Rayman70]

This is a huge surprise.

shouldn't shock anyone really. He had been talking openly about missing the game a ton since last year.

 

[mattjames2010]

So Witten is coming back, Bennett is begging for a job, and now Ware? These dudes need to find a hobby.

He better come cheap and he better b willing to come off the field when asked
