Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten continues to contemplate his decision to retire in order to join ESPN's Monday Night Football broadcast team, but a source said another network has made a last-minute "interesting" proposal that is also now being pondered by Witten.
Cowboys coach Jason Garrett is actively trying to persuade Witten to play a 16th season in 2018, a team source added.
Witten hopes to have a final decision in the next 48 hours with an announcement likely by Wednesday, a source said.
During a news conference to introduce first-round pick Leighton Vander Esch on Friday, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he had spoken with Witten several times this week.
