Cowboys to Take a Committee Approach at Tight End
7 years agoThe Dallas Cowboys will be using a committee approach at tight end this season. With 15-year veteran Jason Witten retiring from football to join the broadcast booth, the Cowboys are left without a legitimate starting tight end for the first time in 15 seasons. Geoff Swaim, Blake Jarwin, Rico Gathers and fourth-round pick Dalton Schultz will mix into formations in an attempt to make up for what the team is missing without Witten around. Jarwin has gotten the most hype so far, with Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones raving about him to the media. Gathers was gathering some buzz last season but missed the year due to a concussion. Swaim is the only one with an NFL reception and will likely be given the first chance to emerge.
