Mailbag: Possible Replacements for Witten? Not Enough Mention of Gathers?

JAMES JORDAN

If Jason Witten does retire will Dallas start a rookie and some unproven TE's on the roster, or will they go out and sign a veteran free agent like a Julius Thomas?

Rob: If you believe what they’ve said publicly, they like the young guys they’ve got. Blake Jarwin in particular is a name we keep hearing. Remember, last year the Cowboys signed him to the 53-man roster, even though they really didn’t have a role for him at the time, because they didn’t want another team signing him off the practice squad.
