Tight End Rank: #1
Overall: #25
Knee and ankle injuries slowed Witten some last season, but he played through the injuries and still produced his usual big numbers. Witten had two 100-yard games and finished with 81 receptions. In the last two seasons, Witten averaged 89 receptions for 1,049 yards. And with Terrell Owens gone, Witten could get even more looks this coming season in the Cowboys offense. Witten is an athletic tight end with above-average speed. Witten also does well in traffic and has very good hands.

Witten has been as good as any tight end in the league the last two seasons. He is our No. 1 tight end come draft day. He plays in a great offense and gets a ton of targets each week. A second 1,000-yard season for Witten seems likely this coming season. |

| Todd Archer, of The Dallas Morning News, reports it may be time for the Dallas Cowboys to look at re-doing TE Jason Witten's contract after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed TE Kellen Winslow to a six-year, $36 million contract with $20 million guaranteed. Witten signed a six-year deal worth $29 million with the Cowboys in 2006 that included a $12 million signing bonus. Witten will earn a $2.5 million base salary this season followed by bases of $2.641 million, $3.391 million and $3.641 million. He is also due roster bonuses of $500,000 in 2010 and 2011 and $1 million in 2012. |

| Tim MacMahon, of The Dallas Morning News, reports Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten said the team needs to stay together and understand they are all playing for the same goal of a championship. 'This team has to stay together and understand that it's one goal,' Witten said. 'You don't have to walk around like a bunch of choir boys holding hands. I believe that, but you do have to have respect for each other and have one goal. That's to win, and I think the good teams do that in this league. That's what we have to do to get there. But I think we have enough guys in our locker room to win and be successful.' |
