Dr LBC Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Not sure what the cap ramifications are for this. Per Witten's old contract (which would go back into effect), he'd be scheduled to make $5M this year plus a $1.5M roster bonus. That said there are two things that I genuinely don't know how they'll be applied. Witten never served the the 2018 year of said contract, which he was scheduled to only make $1.05M (having done a recent restructure) plus his roster bonus. And speaking of that restructure, I'm fairly certain when he retired the Cowboys were charged in some compounding form (whether that was charged wholly in the 2018 season or over the course of 2018 and this season) of that restructure - where the money they'd proliferated over the lifetime of the contract was accounted for. So they could/should receive some sort of credit to their current cap (if it were from the 2018 cap it would be the same as carry-over space) that would at least help balance out some of that salary this season.

MWil23 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Rumor has it that ESPN has decided to pick up Witten's entire contract with the Cowboys to try to salvage whatever dignity is left with Monday Night Football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabbs4u Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Romo have a non compete clause with his CBS contract? Guarantee that's their #1 choice given how people reacted to his in game commentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr LBC Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 He's coming back to save Garrett's job - which is an outcome we all deserve (as long as it just means the Cowboys crash out in the Divisional Round as opposed to the Wild Card).

ACO Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I can't imagine Witten will be doing any serious field time. He will play plenty but they will continue to use their young bucks as well. I wonder if they will still look at Tyler Eifert because he was clearly on their radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttitansfan4life Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Dan Orlovsky should be the top target for ESPN to replace Witten on MNF. He’s damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
