The final one was a doozy, to be honest. When the Dallas Cowboys enshrined Jimmy Johnson into the Ring of Honor (one thing that was greater than method overdue) in late 2023, it felt like numerous followers discovered their bliss on the topic. Jimmy was lastly in. With all due respect, who cares what occurred from that time shifting ahead?
Clearly that was not actually true, and extra of an expression of pleasure for Johnson’s induction. It hasn’t even been a thousand days since then, however idle fingers given the time of 12 months we’re in.
Tony Romo and Jason Witten take advantage of sense
ARLINGTON, TX – SEPTEMBER 28: Tony Romo #9 of the Dallas Cowboys and Jason Witten #82 of the Dallas Cowboys have fun after scoring a landing towards the New Orleans Saints within the first half at AT&T Stadium on September 28, 2014 in Arlington, Texas.

That reply is from a sensible standpoint. You may make arguments for people who find themselves lengthy overdue like Johnson was, though clearly nobody is kind of in that very same form of state of affairs, however there may be some measure of actuality concerned when it comes to what’s almost definitely to occur.
Early on Friday we launched a dialogue in The Feed the place we requested the BTB crowd this precise query. Solutions ranged in all places, however everybody definitely agrees that Tony Romo and Jason Witten will someday be part of the group.
Who ought to be the subsequent Ring of Honor addition?
I would think about the subsequent one(s) we see will probably be Romo, Witten, or Ware. Possibly all of them go in collectively? Ought to they? I do not know.
Tyron and Zack are definitely on the listing, too. for everybody’s ideas.

Johnson was the final particular person inducted as famous, however he was one in all two folks inducted throughout 2023 as an entire. DeMarcus Ware bought his due earlier that 12 months.
Wikipedia does an incredible job with sure tables and this one confirmed the induction date for each member of the workforce’s Ring of Honor. There have solely been two extra inductions moreover Johnson and Ware during the last decade, and solely one in all them was a participant in Darren Woodson.
The colours highlighted are necessary context for this dialogue. Yellow marks folks within the Professional Soccer Corridor of Fame whereas blue denotes individuals who have solely reached the finalist degree. It stays an atrocity that each Lee Roy Jordan and Darren Woodson stay with out bronze busts.
Each Johnson and Ware have been already HOFers once they have been tabbed for the ROH. Gil Brandt was not but in, however he can be chosen as a member just some months after ROH induction. This has lengthy been an argument for issues just like the ROH, that it helps enhance credentials.
However dipping additional again, the 2011 ROH enshrinement group of Drew Pearson, Charles Haley, and Larry Allen was comprised of gamers not but within the Corridor of Fame. All would ultimately get in fortunately, however the level right here is that you simply hardly should have a gold jacket to obtain a navy one.
With comprehensible respect to gamers of previous who’ve instances for Ring of Honor inclusion, the subsequent participant in is probably going one from Ware’s era. His personal inclusion appears to have been considerably of a sign of that.
DeMarcus Ware was the primary participant or particular person put into the Ring of Honor who had nothing to do with the Nineties dynasty. We’re all painfully conscious that the franchise has not lived as much as these requirements within the time since, however the notion that Romo, Witten, Tyron Smith, or Zack Martin usually are not worthy of the Ring of Honor as a result of they by no means lifted the Lombardi Trophy is foolish.
It is smart that the subsequent particular person or group would come from that listing, proper? On some degree it will be poetic for Romo and Witten to go in collectively, and possibly for Smith and Martin to take action as nicely. It took nearly a decade into Ware’s retirement for him to get his second and we’re proper about there with each Romo and Witten. It has solely been a 12 months since Smith and Martin known as it a profession.
Do you agree that Romo and/or Witten are the almost definitely folks to get enshrined into the Ring of Honor subsequent? Or do you’ve one other thought?
