Cowboys FA TE Dalton Schultz Turned Down 3-Year, $36M Contract 'At One Point'

[buddieluver]

According to by Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated on Monday, Schultz rejected a three-year, $36 million contract “at one point”. Schultz opted to play on the $10.9 million franchise tag in 2022 and is currently a free agent.

“One gamble that hasn’t worked—Cowboys TE Dalton Schultz betting on himself and playing on the franchise tag in 2023. Schultz had a three-year, $36 million deal at one point. I get why he’d pass that up. But the fallout hasn’t been pretty. Schultz played on a $10.9 million franchise tender last year, and now he’s unsigned and still on the market about a week into free agency.”

Now reduced to 7-9 mill likely unguaranteed on the freaking texans. Bad decisions by a ton of these players.

TE market never really heated up this free agency period. Can't blame the man for trying, but obviously didnt work out. He'll get another chance next year.

 

[cowboysfan99]

Sounds like he ultimately did us a favor

 

[Gonzomandela01]

Darn!

This might be up there with the Dennis Schoder blunder!

 

[ChronicCowboy]

What a huge mistake he made. He wanted 3 for 45.

He overvalued himself.

He is a solid TE, but he lacks big-play potential and is not the greatest of blockers. Most teams want an athletic TE that can stretch the field, that is not Schultz.

This is a TE draft, he just gambled and lost.

He needs to fire his agent

 

[Redline360]

Didn't work out for him but still walks around with F U money for the vast majority of the population and his family is set for generations

Like someone else stated most teams want a physical TE who can stretch the field and block.

 

[ShortRound]

Oof he got bad advice.

 

[Havic]

Time for a new agent

 

[fivetwos]

Maybe this makes Pollard reconsider whatever multi year offer Dallas has given him…if they even have.

 

[JBell]

His agent replied to that tweet and said that was fake news.

 

[SwagSurfer]

lmao oh well. Fergie time.

Dumb player from Stanford. Ran lazy routes and turned the wrong way dozens of times. Look at the film

 

[JW82]

Thank goodness he saved dallas from themselves.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Lol agent trying save face. They wanted 15 million per year last summer and thought they’d get it in 2023. Boy were they wrong.

Cowboys dodged a bullet. Schultz is a good TE. But he’s not worth $12 mil a season as was proven out by his signing a one year deal with Hou.
