Jason Witten decided early in the offseason he still had the itch to play after a year in retirement. The Cowboys still owned Witten’s rights and wanted the starting tight end back.On Wednesday Taco Charlton Jersey White , though, Todd Archer of ESPN asked Witten whether Witten would have played elsewhere if the Cowboys hadn’t welcomed the Pro Bowler’s return. The question seemed to catch Witten by surprise, perhaps because there never was a question the Cowboys wanted him back.“I never had to get down to that road because I knew I had this opportunity fairly early, but I think I knew I was going to come back and play Amari Cooper Jersey White ,” Witten said. “I was fortunate enough to have this opportunity. I don’t know that I can answer that if this opportunity wasn’t there. Would I think about it? I don’t know that I could’ve seen myself wearing another uniform, but I was pretty adamant that I was ready to get back in there and play.”Witten, 37, is the Cowboys’ all-time leader in games played Womens Michael Gallup Jersey , receptions and receiving yards. He will enter the team’s Ring of Honor at some point after his playing career ends. Cowboys center Travis Frederick is back working with his teammates in the team’s offseason program after missing all of last season when he was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome.Frederick said that the thought he’d never be able to play again crossed his mind after being diagnosed with the auto-immune disease, but began to feel otherwise once he started seeing progress in his treatment. That progress has him on track to return to the lineup this year, although Frederick is unsure of what kind of player he’ll be once he’s back.Frederick had shoulder and hernia surgeries and said he’s easing into work “to make sure that everything’s healthy” before he gets to a point where he can really make sure that he’s all the way back.“We’ll have some stuff modified in OTAs, but most of that is for the shoulder Demarcus Lawrence Jersey ,” Frederick said, via Clarence Hill of the . “You don’t want to re-injure something while it’s coming back from the surgery. But as far as on the field, I feel good, and in the weight room in my other auxiliary lifts Womens Dak Prescott Jersey , I’m doing really well there as well. So for the most part, I feel really good. We won’t know until I get out there and put the pads on and take my first rep whether or not it’s going to go well.”It will be some time before Frederick reaches that point and the hope in Dallas is that he’ll be the same player he was before his career was interrupted last summer.
