please stop making news out of all of this BS. I come here so i don’t have to deal with this Ed Werder-type crap. PLEASE.

Jason Witten is the greatest player we’ve had on either side of the ball in almost 15 years. As long as we have him and D-Ware on the other side, we will always be relevant.

trade one of the toughest and most talented plaers on the team….nooooooooooo wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy…wish we had a few more players like jay….if everyone had the passion for the game like jay we be in good shape

Witten caught 87 balls in 2004, does that mean Testaverde favored him? But then, Witten only caught 35 receptions from Quincy Carter, while Richie Anderson and Terry Glenn had 69 and 52, respectively. Maybe Quincy was racist!

If the team had to do without either Owens or Witten next year, I’d way rather have the 26-year old tight end. You know, the one who played with a broken jaw and cracked ribs. The one who has made clutch catch after clutch catch since his rookie year. The who makes you gasp in incredulity when he drops a rare pass, as compared to sighing and rolling your eyes in inevitable expectation. The one who – from all appearances until he was allegedly pushed over the edge by the biggest Mangina the NFL has ever seen – has been a great teammate and locker room presence.

I have been waiting for this moment since like 1994.

I always wondered when we would see the stupidest thing ever on the internetz.

And this is it.

Wow…if that’s the case then maybe I need to follow a new team, because it would be a sad day when players “hate” a teammate who is productive, clutch and who never says anything derogatory about anyone else; and instead prefer a teammate who has a proven track record of selfishness and hardly any record of rising to the occasion. A sad day indeed.

However, I would venture a guess that not too many of Witten’s teammates are upset with him. Why? Because of what I just said above. A reasonable person would take into account Witten’s past achievements and attitude, and like give him the benefit of the doubt.

that this has all been overblown. I think Owens does leave it all on the field and is probably a pretty good teammate. Again, I want both here in 2009.

we are engaged in speculation, per the PFT report. Frankly I could see a confrontation between Witten and T.O. starting because the former was tired of the latter assigning blame and making excuses. Look, I imagine that even in the Cowboys locker room, there is some misunderstanding and assumptions.

but I am waiting for my final judgment until I get some sort of verification that Witten spoke to the press. If he did, it was a huge mistake – but even so not one worth trading him for. Come on…

Until then, I am perfectly content giving Witten the benfit of the doubt, based on his previous performance on and off the field. It is the same benefit of the doubt that I would give to Marion Barber or DeMarcus Ware, two other players who give their all on the field and who pretty much say nothing unless they are spoken to. And when they do speak, it is usually short and sometimes even thoughtful.

Terrell Owens may be a very good player, but he has a tendency to be a big-mouthed idiot.

I thought I’d review some of Witten’s clutch contributions in key games over his Cowboy career, in no particular order:

His 42-yard catch against the Giants during the waning minutes to set up Gramattica’s game-winning field goal in 2006
His 16-yard game winning TD catch against the Lions in the final seconds in 2007
His 8-yard reception against Carolina to convert a critical 3rd down late in the game to esnure a Cowboy victory and a winning season in 2003
His 40-yard grab on the last play from scrimmage during the first half against the Eagles earlier this year to set up a field goal

Not to mention 4 Pro Bowl and 1 All Pro seasons, and probably one more this year. And one of the best blockiing tight ends in the NFL. Oh yeah, and the guy who set virtually every tight end receiving record for the Dallas Cowboys.

Jason, we hardly knew ye. Ah, but Martellus will make everyone forget about what’s-his-name.

I want them both back.

Are you guys freaking kidding me? Trade Witten? All because some “source” says Witten is Werder’s “source”. What in the world would make anyone of you think that Witten is the guy who did this? Everything he has done has been for the team. He has played with a broken jaw, cracked ribs, ankle sprains, etc. And now, you bunch of so called loyal cowboys fans want to call for his head because some unkown little snake said he is Werders informant.

If it did turn out to be him, then let’s talk. But right now, I see nothing to make me beleive he is.

Right now, I am ashamed to be associated with a bunch of media, kool-aide drinking bunch of low IQ, two-faced fans! You sound like a bunk of Eagle fans!!!!!!!!!!!

Since you seem to be the “all knowing” guru on this incident, why don’t you tell us the following:

1. What was said in the team meeting in which the players spoke? I mean “exactly”, not speculation.
2. How you know “for a fact” that Witten is the unamed source.
3. The SPECIFIC players on defense who are against Witten.
4. What specific examples in Wittens past would lead an intelligent person to believe he would stab another player in the back like this?

You can either show your ignorance or your intelligence by answering these questions. In the mean time, the philly fans have a season tickets for you!

Hi, may I butt in here? I know the testosterone is floating around, but I’ll hold my nose and give my 2 cents anyway. By the way, if you can’t tell, I’m cheating and posting under my husband’s username.

This whole discussion, here and elsewhere sounds like an immature bunch of schoolchildren. Case in point…I heard that he said that she said that you think that she said….. What? Seriously? Witten is young, but he isn’t wet behind the ears. He is someone I would be proud for my boys to grow into. And T.O. So what, he has a “bad rep” in other teams. I’ve been in the public eye and been appalled at what the media will take out of one quote and spin around to sell a headline. These guys have been there and done that. I’m not one for fingerpointing. I teach my kids better than that. Both of these guys are grown men. I say give BOTH of them the benefit of the doubt. SO WHAT if they did have words. It’s called a conflict, and this might be a new concept for men, but you can’t have a good relationship without a little conflict and resolution now and again.

As for what the reports are saying, “Witten OR HIS AGENT” was the source? Seriously? And no one seems to pick up on the fact that the added “or his agent” highlights how speculative this information is? Stop huffing the whipped cream cans and stand back and look at the broader picture. The team is not imploding, the sky is not falling, and no one is going anywhere. Witten is a team leader. He is a standup guy, father, and husband. He is a PHENOMENAL player, and appears to be a good person to have as a friend. T.O. is a team leader in that he encourages EVERYONE. He is NOT just all about his own stats—he might care about them—but what is of more importance to him is the win. Does anyone REALLY think he leaves a game and is pissed off driving away if he didn’t make the game-winning catch, as long as some Cowboy did? Look around guys, let’s pay attention and realize that these are not little leaguers here. These are grown men and it is perfectly acceptable for them not to be holding hands and singing Cumbaya all the live-long days. They will get over it. They’re probably already over it. It’s your turn.
