welp, i'll say the workout thing is not proof of blindsiding.... you never quit your current job until the next one has ink on paper.  and no ink on paper is not proof of unplanned ignorance by the joneses.

occam's razor.  simplest explanation holds.  everyone concerned knew, but it wasn't done until it was done.

Jason Witten last week: "There's been a lot of things [said] over the years, especially the last few months. I guess that's what happens when you get old. Hopefully I can play until I'm 40. I'll take it one day at a time. My plan is to be here with the Cowboys. Absolutely."

 

And yes I know people say things to hide intent, but that was a pretty sincere statement

[Rabidhorn 121]

WR is not that bad, plus they will add another one.

Gutted man. Whitten was everything a cowboy should be. No one deserved a ring more than Him.  A true class act and hall of famer. Automatic in the clutch 

Whitten once hit 4 homers in a game for the Cardinals.   

 

 

Witten ten is a legend

One day at a time. Means he was making no promises, and yesterday may have been the day it changed for him.

Would prefer he wear 56 like Eugene Eugene the hitting machine.

Completely coincidental i'm sure.

Witten knew he was done.  Glad he is walking away on good terms.

I can report that starting at 11:35 this am, the #Cowboys scouting department began an intense-relook at the TEs in this #NFLDraft ... #TheyDidn'tKnow

Orange you saying we could've had the Garnet Thor?

[Pig Bellmont 8692]

15 year HOF bound TE retires during the offseason. Why the drama? He’ll be missed, but anyone painting this as a betrayal is stupid 

[EZ$ 2102]

I’m glad Jerry supposedly didn’t know and we didn’t end up wasting a 1st rounder on a TE. Hope we don’t draft one until tomorrow. 

[EvilCaseMcCoy 691]

Good news!  If we're still interested in rolling with an old, future HOF, TE, it looks like Antonio Gates may be available.

I don't care if Witten retired an hour before the regular season opener.  He is one of the best to ever play for this franchise, one of the best TEs ever, and a rock-solid human being.  

That dude has earned "no issue" regardless of how he decides to go out.

Especially when he stuck around about five years longer than he should have when the Cowboys failed time after time to find his successor. Witten can do whatever the feck he wants and owes nobody jack squat.

If they weren't already looking for TEs then they're even more hopelessly retarded than even I thought. They will deny it.

[Horny Bull 2759]

Well there goes Hernandez

[Drew 2331]

If they didn’t know about Witten before today than it’s not exactly retarded. BTW I’m sure they put work in on TEs before the draft.

Just because they’re taking another look at them doesn’t mean they’re retarded. This is kind of a unique situation. 

[Horny Bull 2759]

And there goes Sutton

[futureman 22418]

don’t have to worry about sutton

[Landomatic 3813]

Sutton gone

Are you the same drew from that other site?

[Pato del Muerto 52353]

So chark now?  Assuming they want a bigger receiver or they’d have been looking at Kirk, and chark is the only other big receiver. 

Been reading up on tight ends too today and every one seems like they can’t block except for the guy from sdsu.

Might make them think harder about trading pick for Thomas 

[Viper 12033]

There goes Honor Landry

I couldn’t tell if he said Honor or Arnol 

[Horny Bull 2759]

Gesicki off the board. Not sure how interested we were, but I wanted him.

One of those te that cant block. He’s Escobar.

if escobar ran 4.5 and jumped 42”, yeah, just like escobar.

[Brew 3049]

Personally, I’m sad to see Witten go only because he’s going out without a ring. There is no doubt he was past his prime and it was time, but it still sucks from that perspective.

[Amobie 58]

Williams is still on the board

[pacman 7331]

Reid still there

[In10se 175]

Lulz Kramer called him a d-bag

[In10se 175]

Trade up for Godert?

[Mo Horn 8808]

May not need to

[In10se 175]

If he's there and they don't take him or another TE then we know they feel confident in the TEs they have.  

[Pato del Muerto 52353]

He might not get past the chargers 

[Drew 2331]

We’re going defense here. Still need a DT and Safety as much as TE/WR or Guard. 

 

But I’m sure cowboys twitter will get mad anyways. 

[Amobie 58]

Connor Williams here would make me very happy.

[JohnnyRage 1617]

Let it be Connor Williams.

[Drew 2331]

Defensive coaches in the war room. Hard to think they go offense here. 

[In10se 175]

Connor at LG?

[In10se 175]

Not sure who they take on defense here that would beat out what they have. Unless they go DT thinking David Irving replacement. 

[Happy Gilmore 1001]

David Akers is one goofy bitch 

[Horny Bull 2759]

Holy fuck get this midget off the stage

[JohnnyRage 1617]

Offensive line coach being congratulated per radio.

[Viper 12033]

Fucking Eagles

[pacman 7331]

Classic Eagles poke in Jerry's eye. Shit

[TexasGary 833]

The Ticket is reporting the Cowboys will take Connor Williams.

[Viper 12033]

Connor Williams moving back to TE confirmed

[Drew 2331]

Okay looks like the OL coach was in ther with the defensive coaches. 

 

Mighr be going OL here.
