Sign a guy like Maxx Williams in free agency - he's a good blocker. Then, draft a guy to develop like a Jeremy Ruckert (the guy I would want to take).
:thumbup: My thoughts exactly down to the FA target in Williams and draft eligible TE Ruckert or many others.

They will draft their starting TE for 2023 in this draft and let Shultz walk after this season.

We all figured this would happen. Hopefully they work out a deal that not a significant cap hit as the franchise tag would be.
I hope not. The last thing I want is to give Schultz a long term contract. Take your 1 year cap hit because you got caught without another option and figure out a plan to move forward without him starting in 2023.

What a stupid waste of a franchise tag on an average player.
His stats do not look like an average player's.

And his value is what it is to this QB and offense, that is why he's tagged. Think they didn't run this by Prescott?

Jarwin is as good as gone. they are working on injury settlement. the guy made out with his contract and did ZERO to earn it
it isnt like the guy wouldnt have preferred to be on the field. The guy got hurt, and he was paid based upon what the team felt he could accomplish. Sucks for him, but I dont blame him for getting hurt.

They haven't paid him anything yet, just tagged him to buy time to see if they can get a longer term deal in place. I agree, 10M for him is extravagant but this deal isn't done yet.

The numbers being thrown around are 13-14m per and quite frankly isn’t the difference maker those 2 are.

Thus proving my point . . . he is an average TE that puts up stats in a Dak led offense. . . anyone would get those numbers
Very sorry to disagree that does not prove your point. He is one of the top FA’s in this draft.
Many NFL people find him a desirable T.E. You have another opinion OK but

This is true, but do you trust Jerry and Co. to make the correct decision here? I actually would have no issue with this if the rest of their moves seemed coherent. This is a "win now" move, but they are making a bunch of "retool/rebuild" decisions elsewhere on the roster. If we're blowing it up let's just get it over with and blow it up. Otherwise, push the chips in and make a run. We are doing neither of these things.

well, it all depends. are we going to look for another TE? probably? will we draft one? depends on what's available during draft? what if we don't draft one and there is no other TE? are we ready to go into the season without a TE? so I assume that we all might be OK with him making around 8M a year, which is abour average for TEs. you don't have to like the numbers, its what the NFL market bears. so at 10M, or 11M we are over paying by 2-3M, but at least we ensure we don't create a need or a hole. plus, we are losing cooper. if cooper would have stayed, then losing schultz would be more palatable.


5 of his TDs and nearly half of his yards came in the second half of the year. He was your leading receiver in the back half and wow Dallas sure sure lit it up didn't they!

incorrect. he had 354 yards in the first 6 games, 427 in the last 11. I split that way for before and after Dak injury. if we want to include the vikings game, it would be 365 and 411. in 7 vs. 10 games. he had 3 TDs in the first 7 and 5 in the last 11. 2 coming in the last game against philly. a joke of a game.

ok, lets say we want to do that. we have until July 15th to rescind the tag. lets get the guy in draft first before we let him walk.

Franchising is a one year deal only.
The draft picks are valuable opportunity to replace problems all over the roster.

This is a man when asked why he gave Romo such a contract replied "Tony's getting paid better, he will play better".

You are applying all known football logic to this, since when does that work?
A we can do is grin and bear it.

On the good side he is a more than capable pass catching tight end.

On the bad side his blocking is poor.

On my most interesting side will be if his soft zone third down routes extend beyond the yard to gain marker.

Don't know about the rest of you but Witten's last 3 years or more was constant dink drop offs on third down short of the marker.

Used to piss me off.

I can only hope this ain't his real QB security blanket reason for signing.

Adams from GB and maybe Cooper Kupp - who else is a better route runner than Amari?

And who draws CB1 with coverage rolled to him - Coop or Cee Dee?

I love Cee Dee but he is not Coop (yet). The only knocks I have on Coop is he gets nicked up quite a bit and he couldn't play a few games because he wasn't vaxxed. Other than that, you keep your best players.

Remember the offense right before Dallas gave the Raiders a 1st for him? He immediately helped open up the offense and made Dak a better QB.
better route runner? or better WR?
these are WR I think are better and I would rather have them over cooper.

Adams
Kupp
Justin Jefferson
Tyrek Hill
stefon diggs
Hopkins
Evans
Godwin
Chase
Dionte Johnson
Kennan Allen
McLaurin
Sameul
Metcalf

there maybe a few more, but it would be 50/50
