Stephen on the FAN

[BlindFaith]

Says it isn't confirmed yet.
Not aware.
Jason is meeting with Jerry.

Feels good about the tight ends they have.

Doesn't feel WR is a need.

Safety is important because the switch of Jones to corner.

Zeke may get more looks in the passing game because they won't have a true #1 WR.

Excited to use Jaylon more as a pass rusher.

Probably looking to get another LBer in draft. Most likely not looking at adding a vet LBer.

 

[Gameover]

Let him retire

Please

 

[SportsGuru80]

Hmmm I pretty sure he knows just want to let Witten announce is own retirement...

 

[StarBoyz83]

Its everywhere. I think it's a done deal.

 

[RS12]

The timing of this is suspicious. He didnt want anything to detract from the first night of the draft and went on stage with Goodell. Then the very next day while there is still a good TEs to draft, he retires. BTW they needed a TE before this. I think he has known for a while.

 

[3rd_n_inches]

Yeah this is Jerry’s territory

been known for weeks. Ben Rogers mentioned it weeks ago. Right after Dez release he learned about it.

 

[Teague31]

Cap implications?

 

[ShortRound]

Not aware? lol really?

 

[TheCoolFan]

It's over, if Witten wasn't 99% committed then he wouldn't have leaked it to Mort/ESPN. He's already trying to get in good with his new company

 

[gimmesix]

Witten once said he wanted to retire when Romo retired. He's a year off.

Team had just come off a 13-3 season and looked poised to maybe take it over the hump...

He like most of us thought it was gonna be a good year...

I agree with all of that. They still need an OG and Safety, with backups at Will, WR and RB as well.

 

[Mannix]

If was so happy with his current situation, he wouldn't have leaked it....now the teams proceeding Dallas, know they need a TE. This sucks!!!

 

[VACowboy]

Nothing but mad respect for one of the greatest Cowboys ever to don the star and one of the best people ever to grace the gridiron.

To me he has earned the right to leave the game on his own terms.

 

[Risen Star]

The TEs they have are dog crap.

Your future owner ladies and gentlemen.

 

[Doomsday]

Come on they knew last night.

Why else was he on stage and announced as 1 of 3 retired Cowboys greats by Roger Goddell?

 

[Bleu Star]

Zeke may get more looks in the passing game because they won't have a true #1 WR.

Oh so Stephen has heard my cries from the mountain. CONFIRMED! Oh happy dayyy

Ben on the FAN now. Confirmed he knew a couple weeks ago but couldn't say anything.

Said it wasn't a certainty though. And that this was or will be a last minute decision.

Said he thought Witten was interested in the Tennessee coaching gig and wants to be in a position to jump on something in the future should it come up.
