The future Hall of Famer recorded 63 catches for 560 yards and 5 touchdowns in 2017, and was selected to the Pro Bowl, so it appears he may have some juice left.
Witten has played in 11 Pro Bowls during his 15 years with the Cowboys, becoming the franchise leader with 1,152 receptions, which ranks fourth in NFL history, and 12,448 receiving yards. He also holds franchise records for games played (239), consecutive games (236), starts (229) and consecutive starts (179).
