Jason Witten has decided to end his retirement and return to the #DallasCowboys for what will be his 16th season.
According to the Cowboys, Witten, who after abruptly deciding to hang up the cleats last May and join the broadcast booth of Monday Night Football, has apparently had a change of heart. He will return to the field and officially sign a contract with the Cowboys, who retained his rights when he was placed on the NFL’s Reserve/Retired list.
“The fire inside of me to compete and play this game is just burning too strong,” Witten said in a statement. “This team has a great group of rising young stars, and I want to help them make a run at a championship. This was completely my decision, and I am very comfortable with it. I’m looking forward to getting back in the dirt.”
