A Jason Witten story that recently caused Jerry Jones to get emotional

Jerry Jones shared a story last week that got the Cowboys owner and general manager a little choked up.

While talking about the respect he has for Jason Witten, Jones described an interaction he had with the 10-time Pro Bowler after he signed a six-year, $29 million extension in July 2006.

After signing the contract and taking some photos with Witten and his family, Jones was walking to his car when he felt someone grab his shoulder.

"I can hardly talk about this now without tearing up," Jones told Alex Marvez and Bill Polian on SiriusXM NFL Radio's Late Hits show last Tuesday.
