FRISCO, Texas -- When the Dallas Cowboys' season ended at Philadelphia in December, Jason Witten said without qualification he would be returning for a 16th season in 2018.
He did not say it so he would have more years of service with the Cowboys than any other player in team history. He did not say it because he wanted to add more catches, yards and touchdowns to his resume.
He said it because he wants a chance to win a Super Bowl and believes he can still play at a high level. Considering he was a first alternate in the Pro Bowl voting shows that his peers, opposing coaches and personnel people believe he is still a top tight end as well.
