Looks as if Jason Witten could be pulling a Tony Romo.
According to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen and the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Witten will announce Friday that he is retiring from the Dallas Cowboys after being one of the top tight ends in the NFL for the past 15 seasons. Witten will then reportedly join ESPN’s Monday Night Football booth as the network’s lead analyst, filling the void left by Jon Gruden, who was hired during the offseason as head coach of the Oakland (soon to be Las Vegas) Raiders.
ESPN declined to comment.
