"I evaluate [Witten] as one of the all-time greats," Belichick told Dallas reporters on a conference call earlier this week. "He's had a tremendous career -- still going strong. He's good at the running game, good at the passing game, plays down the field, clutch guy in tight situations when you need a catch over the middle or third down, red area, [and] those kinds of things. Really, he's a complete player. I don't see any weak points. Just an outstanding guy that you've got to be aware of at all times and he definitely is a guy that impacts the running game as well.
"There's a lot of good tight ends in the league and there's good players at every position, but he's as good as any player and I'm glad we only play him once every whatever it is, three or four years. That's plenty."
