DMD Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Man. The Cowboys receivers are looking pretty bleak right now if that is true. I mean really, really bleak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I heard some talk last couple of weeks that Witten was getting an audition with NFL broadcasters. They all missed on Peyton (he wasn't interested) and I think they even tried to go after Favre. A former Cowboy star seems to be the new recipe after Romo's success. I suspect that Witten and ESPN hadn't come to a decision until just recently. At least the draft isn't over and Cowboys have a chance to draft a replacement.

Yes but why announce it today instead of giving the Cowboys a chance to trade/draft his replacement? I don't get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJoTheWebToedBoy Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 When I heard this the first thing that popped into head was Witten just doesn't see a SB run anytime soon so why keep playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darin3 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Didn't see this until now... Quote Cowboys TE Jason Witten reportedly received an "interesting" last-minute proposal from another network. Witten's decision is likely to come Wednesday. He was well on his way to joining ESPN's Monday Night Football booth before another network reportedly swooped in. It seems very unlikely he returns to the Cowboys if there are two concrete offers waiting for the 15-year veteran outside of football. Even so, head coach Jason Garrett is actively trying to persuade Witten to return for one more season. If the Cowboys are expecting him to move on, they certainly did little to address that position over the weekend, waiting until the final day to draft Stanford TE Dalton Schultz. We fully expect Witten to officially hang up his cleats this week. Apr 29 - 7:14 PM Should hear something today. I think he's gone-zo.

I've heard that other network is Fox with the Thursday night package of games, they are looking for alternatives to using Buck/Aikman for those and the big Sunday Fox games.

Even with Witten's decline, Dak will miss Witten a whole heck of a lot more than Dez. Does DAL get desperate and go for Gates? Wonder if there are any TEs that are on the trade block.

michaelredd9 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 A couple of quality tight ends and/or wide receivers will still be cut from other teams. Some good bargains can be had in August and September. Dallas seems the most likely place for them to land. Too bad Dez burned his bridges with Dallas. Dallas could really use him at a reduced price.

He's got to stay healthy, though. Also, I think Schultz might get more playing time than you might think because he's a dual threat to block and catch.
