Speaks VOLUMES about how good this team is that witten would leave his cushiony new job for one more year to run the table.

This is a make it or break it year.

Damn straight!!!!!

This team is super bowl caliber

It’s the coaching that’s not

That or because Monday night football was set to give him his walking papers.

I hope he doesn't jinx us. But yes, we are that.

Here come the habitual Debbie Downers. Stand by for more and even worse. Bank on it.

His performance calling games was so bad that Monday Night Football was surely about to abort the Witten Era in a very embarrassing fashion, so he opted to un-retire to make it look better because he couldn't handle that shaming.

But it's adorable that you want to believe the best of everyone like this. You're very precious.

Did you watch MNF? I don’t think Witten’s evaluation quite hold the same esteem they used to.

Facts. Nothing but facts.

First time I had to mute games

I agree with this but not quite as strongly. If he was offered a fat multiyear extension, he’s not going anywhere. I’m sure ESPN had a talk with him, and then his agent told him no other network is coming knocking, so he said “Okay then.”

 

[Air Force One]

I love this move. He's always been clutch and his experience is needed.

 

[RodeoJake]

I guess we'll find out soon enough. FA signings will tell us if the Jones boys believe we're SB caliber.

 

[Virginia-Dave]

I love Witten, but I don't know him coming back is gonna be good for anyone. He wasn't exactly speedy 2 years ago, and I'm guessing he isn't getting faster with age. I guess if he can go out and get 1st downs like he's always done, and mentor the young guys it might work out. Wasn't there rumblings that he didn't help the young TE's in the past? Maybe now that he knows he only has a season or two left that will change. Oh man, just don't mess up your Cowboys legacy Witt.

Whether this club is or not is anyone's guess. They believe they're on the doorstep every season, so that really doesn't move the needle.

Garrett and the club worked to convince him to come back at various points last season and I don't suspect they ever stopped pursuing that.

I thought Witten did very well commentating from the booth last year.

As for him returning, not sure that is such a good idea. Witten certainly is not the Witten of old (young), and he's certainly going to be much slower. Don't see how this will do anything but slow down the progress we saw from the young TEs last season. How does this help make the Offense better, quicker, faster?

Witten is returning because ESPN was going to fire him. Truth.

I’m thinking

Maybe we draft a TE in the second and witten takes a reduced role
