My Guess is just Lee. Crawford has young guns at his heels and Witten will re-retire. Maybe it’s wishful thinking.
Only if he gets a major injury.I think Witten is going to retire again. Crawford suspended 4 to 6 games, Elliott 10 games, Gregory the whole season, which will make some interesting roster moves early and mid-season

Lee is playing for $3.5 million base salary this year. We'd owe him $3M if he retired, and it would cost us at least $500K to sign a JAG to replace his roster spot. Long story short, he is effectively playing for free. If he has anything left in the tank, he should be able to beat out Covington and JML for a job.
Witt is probably better than Dalton Schultz right now and definitely better than Rico, so his roster spot is secure.
Crawford is a survivor. Dude has been on the chopping block almost every season since he got his big contract, but his durability and versatility just keep him coming back. I am not betting against him.
Man oh man I wish Witten would re-retire, but I don't see it happening.
All three make it.
All three should and will make the team.
If Witten isn't substantially better than all of the other TEs it'd be in everyone's best interest for him to retire with his $4.25M CAP hit, and $0 in dead cap.
But of the TEs the one most likely better than him you didnt mention in Jarwin. I really wanted to see him grow with an abundance of snaps this season.
I'd rather see someone prove that they should receive more snaps than him. Last year, our run blocking by the tight ends was weak and our sacks surrendered increased dramatically partially because Prescott was holding the ball too long. If Witten can help both of those things improve, then he should be on the field. If not, then the coaches should have the guts to pull him off the field and stick one of the other tight ends out there.
I have trouble understanding why fans want to get rid of players before it's shown that we have anyone better than them. Prove it on the field.
That's why you would wait until after camp to cut him to see what you have first...I'd rather see someone prove that they should receive more snaps than him.

The money doesn't matter to me. I just want the better player, whether it's by a little or a lot, out there because it makes the team better.
