Jason Witten

Tight end Jason Witten has reportedly agreed to a deal with the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Vincent Bonsignore on Twitter. Adam Schefter adds that he can make up to $4.75 million in 2020.

Witten retired a year ago and spent a year in the broadcast booth before returning to the Dallas Cowboys and catching 63 passes for 529 yards and four touchdowns. His deal with the Raiders means he will be playing at least one more season, though he will be behind Darren Waller after the latter's breakout season in 2019.

Jason Witten isn't expected to return to the Cowboys in 2020.

This isn't surprising as the team has other young options at the position. What is surprising is that Witten has said he hopes to continue to play, even if it's not for the Cowboys. There was some expectation he would move into a coaching role with Dallas after the 2019 season, but it appears the veteran isn't finished on the field. He isn't likely to be a major fantasy contributor regardless of where he lands this offseason. He's currently the TE36 in our early expert consensus rankings.

Jason Witten told reporters that he hopes to continue to play in 2020. If it were up to him, he would play his 17th season for the Cowboys.

Witten seems to also be interested in coaching in the future, but he's currently set on returning to the playing field in 2020. In the interview, he recognized that he may need to play for another team beyond Dallas if he wants to return in 2020. Witten wasn't a consistent option at the TE position in 2019 for fantasy purposes, and that doesn't figure to change this year.

Cowboys tight end Jason Witten caught four of his five targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Rams.

Fantasy Impact

Witten now has two touchdowns in his last three games after going failing to find the end zone in nine consecutive games. He is very touchdown-dependent in fantasy at this point in his career, though, and the Philadelphia secondary usually gives up most of their big plays to wide receivers and not opposing tight ends.

Cowboys tight end Jason Witten caught five of his seven targets for 37 yards in Thursday's loss to the Chicago Bears.

Fantasy Impact

Witten has racked up the targets this season, but they are all short passes for minimal yardage. Through 13 games, he has just 455 yards receiving on 53 receptions and has just one touchdown in his last 11 games.
