The Las Vegas Raiders agreed to terms with tight end Jason Witten, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal's Vincent Bonsignore, along with two other former Dallas Cowboys.

The 37-year-old Witten will sign a one-year contract worth up to $4.75 million, a source told ESPN's Chris Archer.

Defensive tackle Maliek Collins told Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News that he's also leaving the Cowboys for the Raiders. Safety Jeff Heath will join them on a two-year contract, according to Archer.

Witten posted 63 receptions for 529 yards and four touchdowns last season, his first following a one-year retirement and stint in the Monday Night Football booth. He holds the Cowboys' franchise records for catches (1,215) and receiving yards (12,977), and he's second in touchdown receptions (72).

In Vegas, Witten will sit behind budding star Darren Waller on the depth chart. The Raiders also have Foster Moreau, who is rehabilitating from a torn ACL.

Collins, 24, had 20 tackles and four sacks last year and spent four campaigns with the Cowboys.

Heath, 28, played seven seasons in Dallas. He posted 63 tackles along with seven pass breakups in 2019.
