Witten is 100% in right now.....guaranteedI think he is probably playing for his legacy. Right now, if he retires, he is a borderline HOF. I think he wants to leave when he feels like he has the stats to be enshrined in Canton.
Yeah last year they added JJ? Lol, I still don’t know what that was about.Witten is 100% in right now.....guaranteed
The NFL Hall of Fame is kinda lax..... they do 6-7 guys every year and love adding Cowboys for tickets and ratings
Use him on first, second and third and short situations. We need a second and long and third down TE. Maybe Rico?I’m all for it but could you please take a backseat to someone.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten isn't planning on ending his playing career any time soon.
Per Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News, Witten would like to keep playing for at least four more years.
"Hopefully I can play until I'm 40," Witten said. "Just taking it one year at a time."
Borderline HOFer??? LOL I hope for your sake that was posted in jest. He' caught the second most passes for a TE in NFL history. He's a surefire first ballot HOFer if he retired today.I think he is probably playing for his legacy. Right now, if he retires, he is a borderline HOF.

Witten can't block for **** .
Mixed emotions about the front office too!!! LolI hope the front office is reading this thread. They need to realize that there's mixed opinions about witten.
Yes sir. I have mixed feelings about letting Dez go but more specifically the manner and timing of it.Mixed emotions about the front office too!!! Lol

agreed..finally someone seeing things for reality and not emotional eye test they used from last year..I really don’t get the fascination for drafting a TE. Besides the fact that no rookie TE would subplant Witten as the starter, Dallas has a variety of good TEs already. Haven’t we proven through a plethora of drafted TEs during Wittens reign, that drafting a TE is a wasted pick over and over again.
Witten- all around well rounded vet that ranked 7th of all TEs last year. Beating the likes of Jimmy Graham, Kyle Rudolph, Jared Cook, B Watson, etc.. yeah, he’s lost a step but he still has sure hands, finds ways to get open, and blocks better than most TEs in the league. Are we just wanting to replace him bc he’s “old”?
Hanna- is an anomaly, but really hasn’t been giving a real shot at the starter role. Sounds a lot like the rest of the TEs that we’ve drafted and gone on to have long careers elsewhere. But he plays a ton of ST and blocks well for a ‘run dominant’ team.
Swaim- has looked good in the very limited playing time he has.. here again, when has he had a chance to prove he could be better? We don’t have a clue what type of player he could be. So let’s just go draft another one I guess. SMH. Reoccurring theme here.
Jarwin- apparently the coaches thought enough of him to stash him on the practice squad, then call he up late in the season. A big young TE to develop into a possible starter down the road. Again.. talented player, but when will we see these talents? But let’s go draft another one:/
Gathers- the enigma that stunned fans how he was able to stretch the field last preseason before he got his bell rung. Major upside and I personally believe could steal some snaps from Witten this year. But hey, let’s waste another draft pick
Now if someone wants to argue that Witten needs to share some snaps with some of the other talented TEs on our roster.. well, I’m with ya. But Witten isn’t a horrible TE by know means, even if he’s in his twilight years.
No TE has been a first ballot yet. He doesn't have the catches Gonzales has or the TDs of Gates.Borderline HOFer??? LOL I hope for your sake that was posted in jest. He' caught the second most passes for a TE in NFL history. He's a surefire first ballot HOFer if he retired today.

Lol no Gavin was not... funny how you don't mention Bennett, Fasano who started once they got away from Witten's shadow and lack of playing time. For the record I am no Witten basher. I am a Witten throwing the facts. If you don't like them move along....also for the record Escobar is not in the same class as Henry so hardly someone to begin the Gates/Henry transition. Good daySo, Gavin Escobar and the 2nd round pick we spent on him were not an attempt?
There is no "problem in sports" here. If anything, NFL teams have huge cap incentives to replace older, more expensive players. The problem for Witten bashers is that they aren't seeing what the coaches see every day. The guy is a warrior and its going to take a talented rookie to replace him.
