Signed by Cowboys Jason Witten officially signs with Cowboys, salary revealed

[charron]

The same guy who takes all the practice reps and 97% of the game snaps

Maybe the coaches need to flex some muscle and tell the players...any and all of them who gets to do what. These coaches like to run the vets into the ground, zeke, witten will be used till they break.

 

[The Quest for Six]

Having an outlet for Prescott will. Too many times he held the ball last year because he wasn't comfortable with his options. Witten gives him a short-range option so he can get the ball out of his hands.

This offense isn't dynamic, the route tree is too easy for Defenses to read and sits on the routes, that was evident watching this offense...Witten isn't helping that at his age and he can now be covered with an average safety or linebacker...the pro bowl type Tightend Witen once was is gone!!

 

[MonsterD]

I see the ole catch and split second follow of cloud of dust is back.

 

[Pantone282C]

Well, at least this puts to rest the rumor he was running from the broadcast booth.

 

[Pantone282C]

The Dallas Cowboys officially announced on Feb. 28 that the future Hall of Fame tight end was preparing to end his one-year stay with ESPN's Monday Night Football to return to the team for what will be his 16th season, anxious to play once again and well-rested from having a year in the broadcast booth. That has now been made official and the numbers on his deal are in stone following several reports of what his one-year deal would amount to. Witten will be paid a base salary of just $2 million in 2019, but can max out at $5 million if he hits all of his escalators — per Todd Archer of ESPN.

"The fire inside of me to compete and play this game is just burning too strong," Witten said, via DallasCowboys.com. "This team has a great group of rising young stars, and I want to help them make a run at a championship. This was completely my decision, and I am very comfortable with it. I’m looking forward to getting back in the dirt."

I can live with that.

 

[nightrain]

palatable...........hope he has something left.

 

[xwalker]

How so?

It seems that Witten contacted the Cowboys...

 

[tyke1doe]

Does this mean we don't draft a TE?

 

[cowboyblue22]

Well the 6 yard, stop, drop and roll is back back in the playbook..

and two or three false starts a game

 

[Rockport]

just a rumor I heard on redditt..... PEDs or gambling or something

Bull**** and it’s horribly shallow and immoral to promote a rumor you have no idea is true or not. Shame.

 

[Rockport]

three yards outs aren't going to help this team!

He never ran a 3 yard out. Not sure which team you’ve been watching. Probably just trolling.

 

[Fire407]

Well the 6 yard, stop, drop and roll is back back in the playbook..

Of course, when its third and eight. Maybe that's more on the coaching and play calling though.

 

[WoodysGirl]

Nah, they need a TE.

Anyone that isn't happy with Witten back for 2 million is a dope.

 

[black label]

what is there to like???? an aging tightend who has lost two steps, out of football for a year, can't get stretch the field anymore something Dallas needs.....really stupid decision to re-sign him...and I love Witten, wish we had ten more like him on the team when he was in his prime which was five plus years ago

I'm encouraged by this. Sets a precedent for a similar deal for Lee. Low base, incentive laden contract.

 

[buybuydandavis]

Linehan called stop and drop for everyone. The natural route for Witten is his Y option. He's not taking that for 50, but he'll get more production out of that than stick routes.

 

[Kingofholland]

2 million base is fine, I wonder what the incentives are?

 

[Etchyboy]

Does this mean we don't draft a TE?

When have we NOT drafted a TE for a failed project?

 

[Nightman]

We drafted TEs in the 2nd when Witten was good.......lol
