Dez is a shell of former self.Is this sarcasm?
Dez is a shell of former self.
Witten is a shell.
Romo was a broken shell.
Time marches on, the future is now.
Is this sarcasm?Do you know how to read?
Yes.Is this sarcasm?
He already had the meeting and all we have left is the official announcement. As much as I want to bash Garrett and the front office I have to think you are correct.The problem with the "they've known this for weeks" argument is that it then means that they knew Witten was leaving (and knew or should have known Hannah's shaky status) and did absofuckinglutely nothing at TE in FA.
Even if you assume Jerry and Goof Son are capable of such GM malpractice (not unreasonable), you think Garrett and Linehan, who are pretty much on 1-year prove it deals this year, wouldn't be screaming to get a replacement (or frankly, two)? They were ok replacing a first ballot HOFer with Swaim, Uncle Rico, and something named "Jarwin"? Hell, didn't we just do some bullshit no cost extension with him to create cap space?
C'mon, even they are not THAT incompetent.
They surely knew of the reports and the possibility, but I guarantee they were counting on him for one more year. ESPN found out he was going to a competitor, reported it, and here we are.
Unless Jerry talks him out of it.
50 trades for Earl Thomas, Jordan Akins in the 3rd.

Sounds like it's another classic example of Jerry assuming he could wheel and deal his way out of a problem. Probably thought he could fast-talk Witten into playing another season so he made very little effort into looking for successors.Geez, David Moore just said on the Ticket that the team knew this was a possibility, but they gave it a low probability.
They are scrambling because of the timing of the leak.Jerry Jones: Jason Witten has made no decisions

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says Jason Witten has made no final decisions about his future, despite an ESPN report that Witten is planning to retire and work for ESPN.
“He has some things to think about and discuss with his family from a professional perspective,” Jones said. “He also told me he is going to need some more time for consideration, at least through the weekend. He has not made any decisions that are definite at this time. We have no announcement at this time.”
Jones said he and Witten have been in contact regularly this week and that he considers Witten a valuable member of the Cowboys organization.
“I’ve talked to Jason several times this week. I’ve met with him, I met with him as late as just a few hours ago, and we’ve had great discussions. I’ll keep the details of those discussions private forever,” Jones said.
Jones said he’s expecting Witten to come to a decision some time after this weekend.
Even if they didn't know, there's no excuse for not looking long and hard at tight ends anyway.
