Jason Witten retires after 100 years in the NFL to join Monday Night Football, report says

After being selected by the Dallas Cowboys all the way back in the 1918 NFL Draft, the veteran tight end is now calling it a career, according to a report from NFL insider Adam Schefter.

While Witten’s playing days are over, he’s still going to be involved in football. Schefter reports Witten will join ESPN’s Monday Night Football broadcast team as a color analyst.

This now means former Cowboys players have a huge presence on television broadcasts; Witten is on ESPN, Tony Romo is on CBS, and Troy Aikman is on FOX.
