Gavin Escobar is entering the last year of his contract and the Cowboys may look elsewhere in 2017.
Despite many needs across the roster as well as the fact that Jason Witten still had plenty of gas left in the tank at 31 years old, the Dallas Cowboys selected a tight end in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft. Out of San Diego State, Gavin Escobar was seen as the guy to not only be the successor to Witten, but also as a player that would contribute to the Cowboys' offense immediately in "12" personnel - two tight-end sets.
