Cowboys, Witten re-up

Tight end Jason Witten reaffirmed his commitment to the Dallas Cowboys by signing a fouryear contract extension Tuesday, according to executive vice president Stephen Jones. Witten didn’t get any guaranteed money in the new deal, which has a value of $29.6 million, but it gives the Cowboys flexibility in being able to restructure his contract for cap relief. The Cowboys have roughly $200,000 in available cap money, according to a source. Witten is a 10-time Pro Bowler with a team-record 1,089 catches for 11,888 yards. He needs 17 receiving yards to pass Michael Irvin’s team mark of 11,904. He has played in more consecutive games

(219) or started more consecutive games (163) than anyone in Cowboys history. He is sixth all-time in NFL history in receptions and second among tight ends behind Tony Gonzalez.

Eagles sign Long

The Philadelphia Eagles agreed Tuesday to terms on a two-year contract with defensive end Chris Long, who won a Super Bowl last season with New England. A No. 2 overall draft pick by the Rams in 2008, Long spent eight seasons with St. Louis before he joined the Patriots in 2016. Long has 342 tackles, 58 ½ sacks, nine forced fumbles and six fumble recoveries in 130 games. He had four sacks and 10 quarterback hits in 16 games for New England and was an integral part of a defense that allowed an NFL-low 250 points. Later Tuesday, the Eagles agreed to terms on a one-year contract with cornerback Patrick Robinson.
