Cowboys Want To Re-Sign Jason Witten
5 years agoDallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones made it clear that he wants to re-sign tight end Jason Witten. “I feel strongly he wants to play and I think he can play,” Jones said. “I would hope that he would not ever be anything but a Cowboy. It’s meaningful. He’s in the tops right there. I do think he can play. As I sit here right now I think he can make a real contribution to the Cowboys.” Witten played 75 percent of the offensive snaps last year and had 63 catches for 529 yards and four touchdowns. But Witten is slow on the field and is getting in the way of Blake Jarwin, who is expected to have a bigger role in 2020. If Witten returns, he'll have to accept a lesser role. Even if he lands somewhere else, the aging veteran is nothing more than a low-upside, touchdown-dependent TE2.
