It’s official, Jason Witten will retire after 15 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. Witten’s next step is an ESPN television booth, and there’s little doubt the one after that will be in Canton, Ohio as a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Some believe his body of work warrants a first-ballot selection, while others view a first-ballot selection as rarified territory reserved for quarterbacks with multiple Super Bowl rings.
