Dallas Cowboys Team In Three Years Will Look Like This

In 2024, Witten will be 38 while his contract terminates at the end of 2024. This doesn’t mean that he will not retire in the meantime. He has been one of the most important Dallas Cowboys players for a while and if the future Hall of Famer sticks around his role will definitely change. He would be used for high-leverage plays just like Antonio Gates is with the Los Angeles Chargers.

When he retires, he will unquestionably be missed, but he will also leave a big hole that needs to be filled. To prevent such a scenario, Dallas should focus on tight ends in the 2018 NFL draft and select one in the first or second round. The young TE will develop with the assistance of Witten, and he will be ready to play whenever Witten decides to retire. If the Cowboys want to become a stable franchise without too many changes from season to season, they need to think in advance.
