The Dallas Cowboys took the NFL world by storm on Thursday, as they agreed to terms to break Jason Witten out of retirement and bring him back to the team. Although he will be on a 25-snap count per game workload, he will definitely help the Cowboys remain strong contenders next season.

Witten was the epitome of reliability on the field and hardly ever missed a game for the Cowboys in his 15-year career. The long-time tight end clearly could not stay away from the game, as he spent his lone year in retirement in the broadcasting booth analyzing games on Monday Night Football. Witten may not be the analyst his former teammate Tony Romo is, but the case remains he still has a lot left to offer the game no matter the job.

The Cowboys' current roster is young and full of potential, but Witten's veteran presence would be significant on any team. The addition of Amari Cooper last season and the strong play of Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott will likely give Witten less responsibilities, but defenses should always game plan for his reliable catching ability.

Witten may only have a one-year deal and he'll likely be on a snap count throughout the season considering his age, but his presence could help the young roster greatly. Dallas is waiting for a player to emerge in the tight end corps, and Witten's arrival could buy them some time as well as develop young players at the position moving forward.
