Stephen on the FAN

[RS12]

I also think he would have hung around if he really thought they had a shot to make a run this year. But he has been coached by this staff long enough to know that aint happening.

 

[John813]

The TEs they have are dog crap.

Have you given up on The Swaim?

 

[jazzcat22]

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.

NFLN said the team knew for awhile it was a possibility. They knew he was quietly interviewing for the MNF gig. They just did not know the timing.

 

[dfense]

Let him retire

Please

Yeah, before he gets injured reaching for a Dak special.

 

[Risen Star]

Come on they knew last night.

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

Because he wasn't.

 

[morasp]

Safety is important because the switch of Jones to corner.

Josh Jackson, Justin Reid, Jessie Bates, Tarvarius Moore, or Earl Thomas tonight?

Sounds like no one knew for sure until Witten made his final decision. Which was now.

Maybe Jerry talks him out of it?

Josh Jackson, Justin Reid, Jessie Bates, Tarvarius Moore, or Earl Thomas tonight?

Could be.

Id be happy with Reid in the second or ET for a second.

 

[CaliStar68]

He will be missed. Not sure what's next for the team cause Rico's not the answer he get injured too much. This sucks but Jason deserves to retire when he wants to I just really wanted us to get him a ring. 82 4everDC!!!!

 

[morasp]

Could be.

Id be happy with Reid in the second or ET for a second.

Those would be my preference as well. Reid is said to be better in coverage than Eric that the Niners picked in the first when we traded with them.

yeah, he may talk him into one more year.

I do wonder, how much influence did Tony Romo have on Jason's decision. Telling him how great it is in the booth, and get out while he can to have his health. Is one more year really worth it. Though Witten never had the injuries. But at this point, you never know.

 

[CWR]

The TEs they have are dog crap.

But Rico said hes the next great TE?

 

[RS12]

Welp if they are going to make sure Dak doesnt regress further, todays picks should include a TE and LG. I didnt want to spend 50 on ET anyway.

 

[Section446]

This off-season has been great, first dez now Witten, we cna finally improve.

Depends if Witten thinks he can win a Super Bowl this year. To me, that would be the only thing that could sway him.

Maybe Jerry tells him they are bringing in ET and that they are all in on making a run.
