Jason Witten "unretiring"

Just saw it on the nfln ticker and my first thought was... "oh no, they got greg."

Mine was the opposite. Nice, Greg is retiring. Love Greg, but I think he's done as an effective NFL player but I know Rivera would play him over the much younger and at this point more effective Ian Thomas as long as Olsen's foot was held together by that duct tape and bailing wire.

The "Jason Witten" effect...they mentioned this on NFL Network.  Since Witten is coming out of retirement and because Olsen has been in talks with different networks as an analyst....this may push Olsen to retire to take Witten's spot in the both. Hmmmmmm

I know he seen the writing on the wall. ESPN wanted Olsen the last time and with them courting him again this year it was clear he was on the outs.

Whats so great about Greg Olsen in the announcing booth?  Is he that amazing or something?  Why is everyone on him so hard?

He did a test run during the Vikings game that got rave reviews. He's also very insightful with his tweets about the current events of the nfl and breaking down aspects of the game

Your window as a player is so small, hes set to make good $ with the panthers this year give it one more shot I say, if the foot gives out again or he can't preform to his standards then retire. 

But the Booth will always be there. 

 

Will it though? If ESPN hires someone else that they wind up liking who is much better than Witten was, then there are no top network spots available and might not be for several years.

    • I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.   
    • Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
    • Supposedly he plans on staying in college for all 4 years.
