Genius . . . we like our guys

Another mistake. No one was a bigger proponent of Schultz when he was draft eligible than I was, and I think he's a good player. But, he's good enough to let go and not concern yourself too much over losing. At an 11M per season salary? Huge mistake, but not surprising given the front office.

We all figured this would happen. Hopefully they work out a deal that not a significant cap hit as the franchise tag would be.

Top paid RB . . Top Paid WR . . Top pay QB. . . . now top pay TE . . . still we can only beat the NFC East

Well, expected even though I’m not sure I agree with it. At least it’s not long term money.

He is a dime a dozen TE who benefits from Dump Off Dak.

A tight end making the league minimum would give you the same results

We are so blessed to have these two brilliant minds run our team…..

Championship!!!

I believe the team can rescind the franchise tag if they choose to if the player doesn’t sign it. Let’s hope that’s the case.

That said, I’m not upset at a one-year franchise tag for Schultz. I’d be more upset if we signed him to a long term deal.

Average player. Terrible move with our cap situation. Another blunder coming. Our contract and roster mismanagement is criminal.

This. Not a fan of the move overall though.

I hope they don't re-sign him, that would be a bigger mistake.

Not really

There is rarely any point in doing so. At that point you have already had to allocate the cap money to keep the player and a rescinded tag is ineligible for a comp pick so if you tag a player it is almost certainly to keep him.

Cooper is probably gone. I sure hope they have a good plan to get better at WR.

I wouldn’t sign long term but with Jarwin maybe gone for part of the season and moving on from cooper I don’t think they felt they could afford to not have a TE

Opposing defenses are not afraid of this guy. Massive overpay, but that's nothing new.

Don't hold your breath.
