Witten's less than impressive stint in the broadcasting booth compelled the veteran tight end to return to the Cowboys in 2019, and he actually provided decent output at 37 years of age, logging 63 receptions for 529 yards and four touchdowns on 83 targets in 16 games. He'll now rep a uniform other than the Cowboys' for the first time in his career after signing a one-year contract with the Raiders, providing depth behind starter Darren Waller as second-year project Foster Moreau returns from a season-ending knee injury.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not expected back
Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram doesn't expect Witten back with the Cowboys in 2020.
ANALYSIS
Team owner Jerry Jones previously indicated that he'd like to see Witten back with the team, but going forward the Cowboys seem inclined to hand more responsibilities to fellow tight end Blake Jarwin. That's a context that could lead to Witten moving on from Dallas, given the prospect of a reduced role in the team's offense in 2020.
