It really is not...He said no at first intending on playing at least one more year....Something changed in the last 48 hours..MNF made a better offer..or Witten just deciding he did not want to go thru the grind. Since offseason program started Witten had been at every Captain's Workout and every other workout. He does not do that if he knows at the time that he is not playing the season
He was never supposed to play as much as he did in the first part of the season. Injuries forced him into a way bigger role than he should have been in.
