Raiders sign Jason Witten

[Aven8]

It’s like JG got fired twice!!!!!

The Raiders have a guy they really like starting for them now, he just got a new contract last year.

Wish we woulda signed him just because he's Mr. Cowboy to me. I know it really wouldn't make sense keeping him overall because it's time to move on already but it's gonna be strange seeing him in a different uniform. Good luck to the all time great. Can't wait to see him get put in the ring of honor in a few years.

Is there a record he is trying to break or something? He should have retired before his first retirement notice.

Much respect sent to this great Cowboys player. It was time for the team to move on. Best of luck!

 

[Doomsday101]

I have the utmost respect for Witten, I wish him well. The guy is a proven Iron man to play as many season through the injuries (1 game missed in his career) is amazing in a sport like football.

 

[TRUTH87]

guess no real contender was willing to sign him? raiders i don’t think will get him a lombardi. i think he should of just called it quits. good luck witt!!

 

[CATCH17]

Glad to see he still gets an opportunity to play.

I'm also glad we moved on.

merge with the dozen other Wit threads

Haha.....the hero turned villian!

thats confusing. He won't be the starter though. They had a 1000 yard TE last year in Darren Waller. Don't get this move.

There's so much Gruden/Raiders moves I don't get.

How does Marinelli replace their successful D-line coach after screwing up here and leaving our defensive line in shambles?

Why is Marcus Mariota their top free agent signing?

Why pay Witten $4 million to cry about snaps and take Waller off the field?

Come on Witten, Retire , but of course he cant do TV , so get whatever you can with whichever team ... makes sense

I think he just truly loves this game. Witten seems like he was born a couple generations to soon.

NO chance he's got a starting gig, but he can mold Waller, who's had his personal demons to deal with since entering the league.

Go enjoy your life witt.. After this check call it good friend.

 

[Manster_Mash]

Great player, but hasn't been that in several years. There was a reason he was always open; it's because the defense had 0 fear of him. Unfortunately, his career will always be synonymous with an era of Cowboys failure. He probably deserved better, but you can't completely expunge him of a share of the blame either.

 

[Joe Realist]

Good for him in his final NFL year.
