Jason Witten weighed in on Tony Romo’s retirement Saturday.

The two entered the league together and went on to form one of the best quarterback/ tight end duos in recent history. Romo and Witten connected for 649 receptions in their 14 years together.

Witten posted an essay entitled “14 Years -- Memories Forever” on his social media account in which he retold the story of how he and Romo met after the 2003 draft, and have become lifelong friends.

As far as Romo’s legacy, Witten wrote: “While history might remember 9 for the wins and losses, as a Houdini-like playmaker, the epic 4th quarter comebacks, the lack of playoff wins, or the Brett Favre-esque no-look passes, I will always remember much more.
