Witten Retiring

[Nasty_Magician]

Well shit.

 

[scotsman1948]

Well shit.

must be true, spotrac is already showing him as retired

 

[jarntt]

Couldn't wait 2 more days to announce so we don't have to show our hand? Thinking we need to go TE at some point now

 

[jarntt]

So didn't he just take an up front bonus to restructure and push back cap hit? He's gotta give that back, no? Would be a bull shit move if we have to incur that cap hit now

 

[Nasty_Magician]

What is the story with his cap hit now?

Goedert...

 

[Earl Stevens]

I’m sad

 

[Earl Stevens]

It’s now or never Rico

So unallocated cap hit as we sit here today is $4.7M. Yesterday cap hit was $2.975M. So cap hit increase is $1.7M this year.

Not sure specifics. $2.975 included roster bonuses he won't now get of $750K. Not sure what happens with the $4.7M restructure that just happened or even if it was official yet.

Goedert...

every time I read his name I think Hodor

 

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

If he's as good as he appears to be he can talk like Hodor for all I care.

Witten greatest TE in Cowboys history. He will be missed. Things are setting up nicely. There is no reason to over react and draft a TE. We are fine at TE. Witten skills have really eroded over the past few seasons. We are fine with Rico,jarwin and swaim.

Well shit.

This might make TE a 2nd round possibility.

 

[scotsman1948]

This might make TE a 2nd round possibility.

don't know Ian Thomas and Mark Andrews should be available at 81

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

For a guy that loves our players , these last few years have been tough. MNF analyst - good gig.

Yes, but if he waited and Dallas doesn't draft a TE the fan bitching would be very high.

No. Tell team today, then announce in two days. So no one jumps us if it looks like we are going TE

i think he told the team days ago and the team opted to announce it today
