Cowboys bring back 37-year-old failed color commentator to play tight end for them

I’m looking at this tweet from the Dallas Cowboys’ official Twitter account and feeling like it must be a joke.

But it’s not! This is really happening. Jason Witten, who turns 37 years old in May, is actually returning to Dallas one year after retiring from the NFL entirely. And he’s going to be making $5 million!

My official thoughts on this development? Lol Cowboys.

Witten is obviously a future Hall of Famer but he doesn’t have much left in the tank. Witten averaged a career-low 8.9 yards per reception in 2017, when he was two years younger than he’s going to be during the 2019 season.
