Witten leaving TV for Cowboys comeback
FRISCO, Texas — Jason Witten said the hardest thing about deciding to retire nine months ago was leaving football without winning a Super Bowl with the Dallas Cowboys. The 36-year-old tight end is giving it another shot.
Witten announced Thursday he is coming out of retirement and rejoining the Cowboys after one season as a television analyst.
The 11-time Pro Bowl selection will play on a oneyear contract worth about $5 million.
