FRISCO, Texas -- Reflecting on his career, when he retired the first time after 15 years with the Dallas Cowboys in 2017, tight end Jason Witten said things "happened over a long period of time all of a sudden."
Things change quickly in the NFL.
Last week, future Hall of Fame guard Zack Martin retired after an 11-year career with the Cowboys. This week, defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence agreed to a three-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks.
Together, they were the longest-tenured Cowboys, Dallas' first- and second-round picks of the 2014 draft.
