Jason Witten's football days are back.
Witten, who retired from the league last May and was a member of Monday Night Football's broadcast booth in 2018, announced his decision on Thursday to end his retirement and return to the NFL. He will rejoin the Dallas Cowboys for his 16th season on a one-year, $3.5 million contract.
The tight end previously played for the Cowboys for 15 years from 2003-2017 and was named a Pro Bowler 11 times, the most in team history by any offensive player.
"The fire inside of me to compete and play this game is just burning too strong," Witten said in a statement.
