Witten was over his head as a broadcaster but as an NFL player...he was pretty damn good.
He needs just 13 catches to move into the top 5 receivers in NFL history and ranks second
for tight ends. He finished 2017 with 63 catches but will turn 37 years old in May. How much
is left in the tank we shall see.
He holds two impressive NFL records. One, most consecutive games played by a TE (243) and
most receptions in a game by a TE (18). Overall, he has 1,152 catches for 12,448 yards and
68 touchdowns. His one year contract calls for 'limited' snaps. Not bad for $3.5 million salary
that can rise to $5.0 million with incentives and gives him a chance to become the No. 1 TE in
NFL history.
