It turns out that if you want to be a network's lead analyst all you have to do is play for the Dallas Cowboys. According to several reports, Jason Witten is officially retiring after a 15-year career with the Cowboys and he will join ESPN to be the analyst for Monday Night Football.
Todd Archer broke the news early Thursday morning.
Witten had himself quite a career even if it was painful to watch him run during the last couple years.
So, Witten replaces Jon Gruden and is now the third ex-Cowboy to currently be the number one analyst on a network, joining Troy Aikman on Fox and Tony Romo on CBS. Other former players that were rumored to be in the mix for the MNF job were quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Brett Favre.
