Without Dez(hate aside, he demanded your top corner and attention.), Witten and Beasley will get attention like never before and Witten would have his worst season as a pro. That's because of his age of course because in his prime, he's top 3. He would've had even better numbers if the line wasn't so bad in 06. The line was so bad, Bledsoe got benched and Witten Stayed in to block more than at any point ins career. Romo was good and ready to play, but if that line wasn't bad, he could've had success for another year or two. Romo's elusiveness was the only option.
What do you all think? Did the receiving Corp cause the new mr Cowboy to retire?

Again, the receiving corp is the reason Witten wants to retire.
Im sure this isn't his first offer but this is his first time seeing a weak receiving corp and getting a offer in the same off season while seeing your qb come off a down year.

Witten will be 36 come the start of the season, there comes a time in your life, where playing on a Sunday is not the be all and all, the body is in constant pain, with the knocks, you have enough money to retire on. A nice TV gig, and plenty of family time will be appealing, adding 1&1 to get 10 does not add up.

100% WRONG...Witten was offered a Top TV spot..just like Romo was....please dont try and start drama....

Exactly. Get it while the gettin is good. Next season he would have to possibly compete with a new batch of retired players like Fitzgerald, Rivers, Brees, Palmer, etc for the same job.

Witten's smart. He sees where this passing game is headed. No one wants to go threw that at 36. His qb is limited and his receiving corp is below average. Why take the beating for nothing?

You might have noticed they changed up many things including many coaches this year and Linehan has been more empowered by the Joneses while Garrett has been basically removed from the offensive game planning.

They most likely told Witten he would no longer play 100% of the snaps.

Garrett is the reason Witten played as many snaps as he wanted to play.

It was Linehan and the new WR coach who has previous connections to Linehan that pushed Dez out. Garrett wanted to keep Dez.

I think it's "corps" and your thread would get more credence if you didn't have a glaring mistake like that to start it off!!!

And no, that's pretty silly.

Dez didn't draw any attention away from a Witten. In fact a vending machine might have drawn more attention away frow Witten than Dez did. Dez is likely "done". That's why he doesn't have a job instead of the raise the Dez Fan Bois promised us Dez would get if he got cut.
