JASON WITTENTE, DALLAS COWBOYS
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he believes Jason Witten "won't be a bit piece" in the offense this season."[Witten] certainly has got his place in what we do in our blocking and protection and running," Jones said. "While we had functioning blocking and functioning execution with our tight ends [last season], we still weren’t what we were when Jason was there the year before and that’s not to criticize anybody." While the former broadcaster isn't expected to take on 100 percent of the team's offensive snaps as he did in previous years, it's sounding more and more like the soon-to-be 37-year-old will play just enough to impede the development of depth behind him.
