Jason Witten is no longer at ESPN. After one widely panned season in the broadcast booth, Witten is returning to the field. Just yesterday, ESPN announced they would be keeping their same Monday Night Football team, minus Witten.

It's still unclear whether Witten was forced out or if he left on his own accord, but it doesn't really matter now. Witten is back with the Dallas Cowboys, and at least one fellow former Cowboy turned broadcaster is happy to see him back.

Former Cowboys quarterback and current Fox color commentator Troy Aikman recently let it be known how happy he is for Witten.

“I think it's great,” Aikman said, via Mark Lane of WFAA Sports. “At my age now, if I wanted to come back and play, I couldn't do it and I never did want to come back. [But] if there's any part of you that wants to play again, then I encourage those guys to do it. You only get one shot at it.”

“So for him to want to jump back in and empty his bucket, I think it's pretty awesome. I'm glad he's doing it,” he continued.

Aikman's transition into broadcasting went a little more smoothly, so he probably can't relate too much to what Witten went through, when his performances in the booth were relentlessly criticized on social media.

Witten signed a one-year deal with the team, and many speculated that they brought him back to allow him to save face at ESPN.

In his last year of action in 2017, Witten wasn't anywhere near his old self physically, but he was a nice safety blanket over the middle. In 16 games, he caught 63 passes for 560 yards and five touchdowns.
