Jason Witten wants to play another season in the NFL and is open to the idea of doing so with a team other than the Dallas Cowboys.

"I think I have to be," the tight end said when asked if he's open to playing elsewhere. "Obviously, I'd love to finish it out here, but some of those things are not in your control."

Witten met with Mike McCarthy not long after he was named the coach of the Cowboys. He has also had conversations with Jerry and Stephen Jones.

He said he will have more discussions after next week's scouting combine in Indianapolis but before free agency begins on March 18.
