While some members of the organization are quietly questioning the team’s decision to bring back tight end Jason Witten, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones echoed coach Jason Garrett in saying that he doesn’t see the soon to be 37-year-old as a progress stopper for the young tight ends on the roster.
Jones also said Witten’s decision to come out of retirement one year after spending last season as a ESPN broadcaster for Monday Night Football will not impact the team’s decision to pick a tight end high in the 2019 NFL Draft if one was available.
“It won’t do anything but accentuate what the tight end, what Witten’s position can do on our team,” Jones said over the weekend at the NFL Scouting Combine.
