Opening a can of worms

[Ranching]

I'm happy for Witten, but does anyone else feel that may be crossing the line by going after a current player? Imagine if they talked someone like Brady or Belichek to retire for a TV job.

Seems an odd time to ask a guy if he wants a job. But I can tell you that Witten pretty much screwed us with his timing. Telling us on the 2nd day of the draft that he probably isn't coming back? Jerk move if you ask me. But like I said, I'm almost glad it happened like that.

Oh, I'm sure they are talking to Brady. Belichek, him I don't know. I mean, you still have to have an audience. Belickek, they don't come much smarter then him. Unfortunately, they don't come much more boring either.

Companies recruit people from other companies all the time.

Just because we found out when we did doesn't necessarily mean Jerry and the staff didn't know prior.

Doug Free does did something similar. Witten must have had more than 1 talk with JJ. He is a stand up guy and would not screw the team.

 

[Kaiser]

Witten has been a candidate to retire for the last couple of years, it wasn't like they going after Travis Frederick or Byron Jones.

That’s what I was thinking.

 

[G2]

I think Witten was thinking about retiring before we ever found out and the FO knew it.
I don't think he needed to be offered a broadcasting job to consider retirement.
I think it was just the timing that may get fans riled up.
IMO

Tampering!!!!

 

[glimmerman]

I do think maybe bspn had inside info he was thinking about it when they made the offer. 4 mil a year to talk about something you know inside and out is great.

Stop making stuff up, they interviewed at least ten other people.

Were any of them current players, though?
I heard Payton Manning turned it down and Brett Favre was awful in his audition.

Yeah, but these aren't rival companies. ESPN is a parasite of the NFL

Our own fans calling Jason Witten a jerk. I’ve seen it all. Uh, until you post again I guess.

What am I making up?

BSPN doesn’t work “For” the NFL, they work “With” the NFL....

What the.....are you ******* serious?

 

[Doomsday]

I am not sure that they pursued him or whether he threw his hat in the ring.

Anyone calling Witten a jerk should get benched for 10 days. Grow up!
