Jerramy Stevens Will Be Looking at Witten Deal

The Cowboys signed Jason Witten to a 7-year contract extension worth $29 million. If Stevens plays as expected and makes it to the pro bowl this season, he will likely be looking for that kind of money in free agency. Witten was scheduled to be a free agent after this season as well, so the signing gives Stevens some more bargaining power with one less talented tight end on the market.

The Seahawks tight end situation could get complicated with Stevens wanting a big contract and Itula Mili nearing the end of his career. The third tight end is currently a place for concern, so the situation could turn south in a hurry. I found the Witten signing a little interesting with the addition of Anthony Fasano and Ryan Hannam this past offseason for the Cowboys. They have made a big investment in their tight ends over the next four or five years.

Eric Johnson and Daniel Graham are both scheduled to be free agents as well. San Francisco wanted to move Eric Johnson, but no one was offering what they thought he was worth because of his injury last season. They might not be interested in re-signing him next year if Vernon Wells plays as expected. The Patriots are also thought to be uninclined to keep Graham with Ben Watson and Garrett Mills on the roster.
