Jason Witten officially walked away from the Dallas Cowboys Thursday with a sendoff normally reserved for a conquering hero.
Hundreds of teammates and employees lined the entrance and halls of the Cowboys headquarters at the Star in Frisco as made an entrance with family and kids in tow for the final time.
A sure-fire future Hall of Famer after 11 Pro Bowls, 12 franchise records, a Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award and recording more catches than all but three people in the history of the game, Witten announced his retirement to join ESPN as an analyst for Monday Football during an emotional news conference.
