Is this the same cap situation where Dak, Zeke, and DeMarcus Lawrence have yet to get paid?dhockster said:

Yes but the good news is they have the cap space to do it.
Dlaw will get PAID
Dak and Cooper will get paid
Zeke will get an extension and traded or released at the end of that extension (unless hes on some record pace)
Jason Wittens 3.5 million. People are over reacting. Hes still a HOF TE who will get open on 3rd down. I have no idea how. I have no idea why teams allow it but he does.

Yep. $47 million of cap space. Another $12 million they could create by cutting Hurns and Lee. They could extend Cooper and save money on his cap hit this year. Zeke could be given a fifth year option which would not affect this years cap. Dak could be signed to a long term deal but that also does not need to affect this years cap. So yes, the $3.5 million Witten contract does very little in affecting their overall cap situation. Do a little research before making assumptions.

I know no one cares but this made me laugh. My son used to get so pissed. "How is he open!?! He only runs one route - run 12 yards and turn around and he's always open!!1!"

Call me cynical, but whenever an old player un-retires or comes back from a serious injury, the news reports are always about how they are "in the best shape of their life".
And then the games start, and they look old, slow and washed-up.

Hey now, he was old, slow and washed up before he retired!
With that said - "Old Reliable" was never a burner, never broke a lot of tackles (until the last few years weirdly enough) but always manages to get open. He's got good hands and runs great routs. He'll be a good TE till he retires again, just not the guy he once was.

Gotta wonder about Roto's snark here. This is just trashing a guy for doing nothing but looking competent in places set up correctly to be so, and gutting out age.

They have been increasingly more snarky and opinionated since I started following them 5-6 years ago and it's starting to turn me off them and think about using other sources.

Still probably the definitive source to go to, so I wasn't really complaining about anything like that, just wondering whether their snark doesn't undercut the conveyance of their actual analysis. For example, nobody has gotten a worse rap than Carlos Hyde. The stuff they say about him makes one think he's garbage. But he's been okay this year. Serviceable. Certainly not worth the venom of Roto, Nick Chubb and Duke Johnson notwithstanding these past two years (Chubb behind Hyde was clearly a mistake in retrospect and in foreseeability to most people).

Witten had a decent season for looking so much slower than the other players on the field.

isn't Jarwin a free agent in 2020? if so then he's going to make more money and opportunity with another team. Schultz, who is a capable blocker, is the #2 and heir apparent. He's got the pedigree with the Stanford TE factory. I can see where Schultz - who left early for the draft - needed some time to develop before stepping in as a full time starter possibly.

No doubt about that. Pretty sure they were not going to bring him back to the booth for another season.

He really stunted Jarwin growth without adding much on the field. Jarwin RAC and explosiveness was clear when given the opportunity.

Fantasy-wise, he made for a good plug and play off the wire if desperate. One could have done worse. Football-wise, I can't really comment. The proof was in the pudding and he was on the field an awful lot. I find it hard to believe it was out of pure deference, but that he may still be hanging on, talent-wise in certain packages, to deserve a spot.
I watched a lot of the prime time and games of the week with DAL. He didn't look out of place. Jarwin looked faster, no doubt, but what about blocking and sitting down in zones which TEs have to do often? How adept was he at that?
I think you need a real footballer to come in and talk about that to have a better understanding of how his year went.

Jarwin looks like such an explosive weapon out there. It’s criminal that Witten steals snaps from him.

Certainly not this year. Personally, I think Witten did nothing to really help the offense this year. This is an offense that was desperate for a reliable playmaker in the passing game. Witten was present but without impact.
