Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten is contemplating retirement after 15 season to join ESPN as an analyst for Monday Night Football, league and team sources told ESPN on Friday.
Witten, 35, has a meeting scheduled with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to inform him of the decision, the sources said. Two sources said Witten's plans won't be final until he receives Jones' blessing, and one source allowed that Witten could always have a last-minute change of heart.
A team source said the Cowboys were aware of the possibility, but Witten was not making a final decision until he met with Jones.
