I hate to see Witten retire...any true Cowboys fan knows what the guy has meant to this franchise. As much as the guy annoyed the shit out of me for false starts and falling forward for 1/2 a yard when we need 2 yards, he embodies the Staubach/Dorsett/Hill glory days by the way he played the game.
But, like everything else in life sometimes its just time for the ride to end. I believe Witten has kept the Cowboys from investing in a modern era (Big and fast) TE that can create those big mismatches that are common these days. Witten just isn't that guy, and he was never off the field long enough to see if we had anyone else worth a shit at TE behind him. Hopefully we can find something in Rico and if not maybe the new kid we drafted shows something.
Its just time to move on.
