Report: Cowboys' Jason Witten to retire and join ESPN's Monday Night Football | Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Jason Witten is expected to retire and head to the broadcast booth, ESPN reports.

Witten would join ESPN's "Monday Night Football," according to a network reporter.

"Jason Witten is planning to retire after 15 years to join ESPN's new Monday Night Football broadcast team as a lead analyst but will meet today with owner Jerry Jones before making his decision final, per sources," ESPN's Chris Mortensen posted on his Twitter account Friday.

Less than 10 days ago, Witten made it clear that he intended to play a 16th season. The 35-year-old went as far as saying he wanted to play until he was 40.
