In a sincere message to his good friend and longtime teammate, Romo called Witten “the best player I ever played with” and a man who has “set the standard for every player and coach who walks through the Cowboys facility.”

Witten announced his retirement from the NFL last Thursday as he transitions – like Romo at CBS – to an announcer’s role for ESPN and Monday Night Football.
