Signed by Cowboys Jason Witten signs four-year extension through 2021

Gotcha. I must have misunderstood your post, my man.

No problem. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't me that was misrepresenting the information.

Yes. And he gets the same $6 million for doing work or $6 million for not lifting a finger. Which one do you think he'd choose? Which one would you choose if you're being honest?

What if....get this...he loves football?

 

[OldCoach]

Witten needs his playing time reduced dramatically.

He hurts, not helps, the offense.

Leadership qualities, mentorship etc.. valuable no doubt, but not having a more dynamic player at that position makes life much more difficult for every other member of the offense.

If you're defense is a 'work in progress' and your team is competing in today's NFL than you better have your offense at an elite level. Easiest way to do that if your Dallas is to make the TE position a downfield threat that has to be accounted for.

As good as they were last year, make TE more of a threat and this offense explodes.

As always, JMHO.

Looks like this thread has snuffed out a Giants fan. Go back under your bridge Mr. Troll.

No I think you had the verbiage right but the point of your post was what I missed (basically that Revis was going to get paid 6 million one way or the other. The only way to entice him would be to pay him more than the 6 million per. Which I agree with your stance. I'm not paying the guy that much money and I'm sure as hell not paying him more).

You nailed it, I missed it. My bad, brother.

 

[NeonNinja]

Yep, more abuse of the cap in future years. They are already spending the money they will save with Romo exciting. Sad.

"Exciting." Sad.

Thought this would be his last year. Guess not.

Actually, he could probably be the player he is now for 5 more seasons.

I am so sick of this Saint Jason crap.

What is this The Notebook? Move on. The guy is in rapid decline and limits the offense.

How does he limit this offense?

 

[Idgit]

You're referring to the 'it's the stupidest thing I've ever seen, but I'm trying to reserve judgement' nature of his post?

If you ask him, he's going to tell you. And then you're going to have to read it. And then you're going to want to punch yourself in the face, and you will have nobody to blame but yourself for it.

Jason's text to his BFF, Tony, after inking his shiny, new contract, "Suck on that!"

 

[Risen Star]

How does he limit this offense?

You have to ask?

He can't get down the seams. Can't run a full route tree anymore. Doesn't command any attention down the field.

 

[John813]

Watch this dude end up like Jagr, still playing till his mid 40's.

 

[links18]

All part of the master plan to make other teams think they won't take a TE in the first round and lull them into a false sense of security and then BAM with the 28th pick in the 2017 NFL draft the Dallas Cowboys take TE....

They'll wait to the second round if history is any guide.

lol yeah

"Toruk_Makto, post: 7276301, member: 34854"]What if....get this...he loves football?

True.

Also,
Revis needs to play, in order to prove he can still ball, in hopes of securing another multi year contract. I think he would do this, as opposed to just sitting on a couch, lowering his future value.

 

[Sarge]

It's not like he's going to get any slower.

There's a chance he might slip into reverse though.

What's the top speed on a Rascal?

 

[Animosity]

With his style of play, he could probably play for those 4 years. Hopefully he will retire as a Cowboy.

Guys who love football don't show up to camp 20 pounds overweight like Revis did last year.

Revis loves money more than he loves football. Unless he's offered more than $10M per year, I don't think he comes back. He can make $6M just sitting on the couch.
