According to Vincent Bosnignore, the Raiders have agreed to terms with TE Jason Witten.
Witten came out of retirement to return to Dallas last year. He made it clear he still believes he has football left to play in 2020, even if it’s not in Dallas.
Todd Archer says Witten’s deal is for one year and can be worth as much as $4.75 million.
Witten, 37, is a former third-round pick of the Cowboys back in 2003. He was in the second year of his five-year, $29.6 million contract and set to make a base salary of $5.75 million for the 2018 season when he announced his retirement from the NFL back in May of last year.
ESPN later hired Witten as a broadcast analyst for “Monday Night Football” and the Cowboys placed him on the reserve/retired list. After one year out of football, Witten returned to the Cowboys for the 2019 season.
Witten will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
In 2019, Witten appeared in all 16 games for the Cowboys and caught 63 passes for 529 yards receiving and four touchdowns.
