I've been around for some all time greats walking away from the game while playing for the Cowboys. He is right up there with every single one of them. Made you proud to be a fan of this football team. I don't have tears in my eyes like I did when Staubach retired but I'm old.
He will be a GREAT color analyst. Bank it.
I've still yet to see a definitive answer on how this affects the cap this year. We don't know if the restructure ever officially went through. Even if it did was it a signing bonus payable immediately or was it going to be paid out weekly and include some language in case of retirement? Will the team try to get that back from him? Will Witten just offer it up because he kind of screwed them with how it went down after restructuring? It's not really an important discussion for today, but I would like to know and obviously we will hear at some point soon.

He is one of the most productive players in the game for his entire career. He seemed to do it all.
This move will hit the team hard as his leadership will be missed.
But will Witten be as good as Tony Romo? He can't be worse than Aikman LOL
looking at spotrac and others apparently it was worked out in such a way that the books are clear of his salary totally. nothing counts against our cap numbers. so apparently he went out as a Cowboy heart and soulI've still yet to see a definitive answer on how this affects the cap this year.

Spotrac doesn't know and isn't official. Their numbers aren't even right in some cases for this team. That being said until this morning they had Witten as a $4.7M hit this year. They changed it from what they had all along last week after his rumored retirement announcement and then changed it again today. It seems they are trying to find out what the true hit is also or have just today corrected their mistake from last week.looking at spotrac and others apparently it was worked out in such a way that the books are clear of his salary totally. nothing counts against our cap numbers. so apparently he went out as a Cowboy heart and soul
Yep. You don't just "replace" someone like him in the room. It'll be interesting to see who steps "up" to that role. Not "in" to that role.
probably the last. overthecap has totally different numbersSpotrac doesn't know and isn't official. Their numbers aren't even right in some cases for this team.

I think on the field it has to be by committee. Full back needs to step up as well as the #4 pick. Rico hopefully will take over the pass catching duties.
Yeah, I checked OTC the other day and they had us with like $9M in cap space whereas Spotrac had us in deficit. Both had Witten wrong, OTC had all the rookies wrong and spotrac had Hanna wrong, Gregory wrong and showed Scandrick as a full hit instead of the post 6/1 hit with an asterisk stating the savings isn't realized until post 6/1.probably the last. overthecap has totally different numbers
