The Dallas Cowboys made a major commitment to the future of their tight end position when they signed Blake Jarwin to a contract extension on Monday. That deal signified that he is the starter for America’s Team for the foreseeable future.
Obviously Jarwin starting at tight end for the Cowboys means that Jason Witten, who emerged from retirement last year to return to Dallas, will not be. Witten had an okay year as far as his standards are concerned, but many felt that it was time for the Cowboys to move on from the future Hall of Famer.
