It was announced earlier this week that tight end Jason Witten would be returning to the NFL to play for the Dallas Cowboys. Witten will be taking up a $3.5 million salary cap hit for this upcoming season.
Dallas now has three tight ends that will likely see good playing time this year. Those being Witten himself as well as second-year player Dalton Schultz and Blake Jarwin. Even with those three, the Cowboys still have a major hole at the position.
Witten was really, really bad in 2017. Only hauling in 560 yards and five touchdowns, it was undoubtedly the worst season of his 15-year career.
