lolwut

well at least we won't have to hear his god awful commentary on MNF

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

We all know that the real winner here is everyone who watched MNF last season.

 

[Kel Varnson]

He's pretty much useless at this point in his career.

Thank you, Cowboys.

$5M seems like way too much for an old TE who was already declining and couldn't run the last time he played.

 

[YEM]

he's already exposed himself as a bumbling doofus with his TV commentary, and now he may threaten his legacy as coming back as an older slower guy who can't play anymore

Whatever gets him off the MNF broadcast is fine by me.

 

[David Suzuki]

good luck to him I suppose. And yes MNF got better today.

 

[Tony Romo]

Why????????????

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

Only time I've ever cheered for a Cowboys move.

 

[Voight]

Romo next?

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

Jerry pulling another rabbit out of his head.

 

[Pestilence]

Why does Garrett (and Jerry/Witten to an extent) look like a drawn character here?

 

[GKJ]

Hopefully they replace him with Greg Olsen on MNF because I thought he sounded good.

 

[John Price]

lol what

 

[John Price]

Olsen would be a fine replacement

 

[irunthepeg]

Romo next?

Don't you dare take the GOAT out of the booth now.

 

[PanthersPens62]

The Clapper looks like he realizes he just received the one missing piece that will get him his long awaited Super Bowl title.

Heard about that, if he can play like he used to then it could be a good thing for Dallas.

Who cares about his legacy?

If he loves the sport and a team will give him a shot, he should play.

 

[Crossfire Hurricane]

He's pretty much useless at this point in his career.

Yeah, and he'll probably be just as useless back out on the field.

Witten was done when he left - this return isn't going to be pretty.

I don't think he makes it through the season and by this time next year we are talking about him in some sort of coach/managerial role with Dallas.

Who cares about his legacy?

players do, they talk about that stuff all the time
#duh

plenty of players across all sports have had their once-sterling reps tarnished by either staying too long or coming back

Jordan's 2 years in Washington sure ruined his legacy, huh?

It's about love of the game. Witten is more than not likely to fail here, but it's his life and his choice to make. I doubt he could give a shit less whether it ruins his image down the line.
