    Report: Jason Witten retiring from NFL to join MNF

    Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten is planning to retire from the NFL after 15 seasons to join Monday Night Football as the lead color analyst according to Chris Mortensen of ESPN.

    Just 10 days ago, Witten confirmed he was going to play this season and planned to bypass a TV job until next year at the earliest so it seems apparent that ESPN sweetened their offer considerably. The network has been desperate to find a replacement for Jon Gruden and that choice is Witten according to Mortensen. Witten, who turns 36 years old next week, is reportedly meeting with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on Friday to finalize the decision. We have no doubt Jerry will try to change his mind.

    Originally a third-round draft pick out of the University of Tennessee way back in 2003, Witten has spent his entire NFL career with the Cowboys. In that time he produced 68 career touchdowns and caught 1,152 balls for 12,448 yards. Witten was a two-time first-team All-Pro selection and was elected to 11 Pro Bowls. He will undoubtedly be inducted into the Cowboys Ring of Honor and probably the Pro Football Hall-of-Fame.

          I'm thinking Roger should cancel...or at least suspend for a couple of weeks... the remaining 6 rounds of the draft in order that people, the world over, have time to make a pilgrimage to Dallas to worship this great man while he is still on Earth.

          Jason Witten is not just a truly marvelous football player. He is as close to perfection as any mortal human has been since Christ. Just ask anyone at ESPN.

          Indeed, Witten is meeting right now with Jerrah to get his "blessing" to retire and take a position with ESPN where he will be part-time analyst and full time 'Savior'.

          How very fortunate we all are to have lived during the Era of Jason. (Now if someone would please stop by my house and kill me!)

            After witnessing his decline over the past 2 years, many Dallas fans were begging him to retire.

              dude was a beast.
              We're looking for people that are fundamentally different,” vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl said Saturday night. “The love and passion for football, it's non-negotiable. They're caring, their character, they do the right thing persistently, and they have a relentless playing style that you can see on tape. The motor, it burns hot. You see them finishing plays. They have a team-first mentality. They're selfless individuals.

                It irritated me to no end watching him get open in the middle of the field all 15 of those years
