Jerry Jones Refutes Rumor Cowboys Contacted Jason Witten About Return

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones refuted a report that Jason Garrett tried luring Jason Witten out of retirement.

"We haven't (reached out) at all," Jones told reporters after the Cowboys' 29-23 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. "What you are seeing is probably lingering aspects of Jason saying, 'I will never quit wanting to play.'

"There has been no serious and none serious that would be of the nature of him seriously playing."

ESPN'sAdam Schefter reported Garrett contacted Witten multiple times throughout this season, attempting to coax him back onto the field.
