The 34-year-old Ware, who spent the last three seasons with the Denver Broncos, called it a career this offseason despite interest from other teams. He spent the first nine seasons of his career as a defensive stalwart for the Cowboys, so it only makes sense that he’d hang them up as a member of the organization.
