One of my all time favorites and a true classs act. I wish he would have gotten a Super Bowl, he deserved it. True VFL!!!!

It’s a shame he never got a ring. Class act.

Bittersweet. I hope he is quitting soon enough to be able to enjoy the rest of his life with minimal pain. Unless I'm forgetting someone, Barnett, Kamara and the punters (?) now become the face of UT in the league. Who else am I forgetting? Don't say Dobbs or that DB.

No ring, but he’ll have a nice jacket here in anout 5 years.

He should go play for Belichek a couple of years and win a ring or two. JW is good for any team.

Good luck to Jason Witten. It's been great fun watching him play this many years for the Dallas Cowboys. He's been a great person on & off the field. His star will shine very bright for years to come.

Kind of surprises me. He still contributes and is productive. Proud he was a Vol. Top 5 TE of all time.

Legend

It looks like he is going to be the next Monday Night Football color commentator at ESPN. Congrats and a great move!

Awesome news. Couldn't have asked for a better NFL career and always been one of my favorite Vols.

Looking forward to him taking over on MNF.

Jason Witten is as Vol as Vol gets. Best of everything to him.

Crap! Counting his wife, that may be two less Tennesseans in Texas. It will reduce property values for sure.

 

[Hacksaw]

Does this mean the Michigan players can stop running now?

Interesting timing on Witten's part.

Great career and an even better representative of the university. Watching Cowboys games won't be the same.

 

[VolinMC]

Not a Cowboys fan but it was great watching him make plays in the pros and representing the Big Orange like a true Volunteer.

Thank you Jason Witten for a job well done!

Good luck to JW on his career after football. I'm sure he will succeeded in whatever he chooses to pursue. He always seems to do everything the right way.

He had a pretty dang good career though.

One of my all time favorite players. Really happy he got to leave on his terms.

E60 just ran a great piece on Witten, highly recommended if you can catch it.

Off the top of my head?
