There have reports the past few weeks about tight end Jason Witten being wooed by FOX Sports to retire and become an analyst for its Thursday Night Football package.
Well, if there were any concerns about Witten's commitment to the Dallas Cowboys for a 16th season in 2018, they were answered by the restructuring of his contract Saturday, creating roughly $3.5 million in salary cap space, per sources.
If Witten was going to retire, there was no way the Cowboys would have adjusted his contract and added dead money to the back end of a four-year extension he signed last season.
