Hall of Famer without a doubt. Dallas is going to struggle to replace him and Dez Bryant.

I wondered if he waited until after round 1 to tell them. Maybe they would have chosen a tight end with their pick.

Money talks eh? A month ago:

There have reports the past few weeks about tight end Jason Witten being wooed by FOX Sports to retire and become an analyst for its Thursday Night Football package.

Well, if there were any concerns about Witten's commitment to the Dallas Cowboys for a 16th season in 2018, they were answered by the restructuring of his contract Saturday, creating roughly $3.5 million in salary cap space, per sources.

If Witten was going to retire, there was no way the Cowboys would have adjusted his contract and added dead money to the back end of a four-year extension he signed last season.

Witten, who turns 36 in May, was due $6.5 million in 2018 before the restructure.

And how many playoff wins after the Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer for Jerry Jones?

And Switzer did it with Jimmy's players.

Jones is a meddling, controlling putz. He's getting what he deserves lately. By lately I mean the last two decades. 2 playoff wins, so 1 a decade on average..........I'm good with that how about you guys?

Wade took over from Parcells and preceded to win another playoff game. Since Jerruh fired Wade in 2010, the "Boys" haven't won a playoff game..

To bad for Whitten. He's the "only" Cowboy I like. All the rest of them and Jerry can take a hike!

I wish they were on this year's Rams schedule so we could pound them and Bayliss into oblivion once again.
