Twitter: Broaddus on Jarwin

[darthseinfeld]

I disagree. It doesn’t force their hand with Schultz. There are free agent TE’s and the draft.

Paying Schultz top 5 TE money isn’t smart considering there will be comparable free agent TE’s who will likely sign cheaper.

The free agent TE class is really bad

 

[CWR]

Problem is you cant just cut him as he is hurt.
We owe him an injury settlement now.

True, it just suprises me a bit at how much attention his injury has received.

It's probably all part of selling the Schultz franchise tag to the fanbase.

 

[Vanilla2]

Yes

Hopefully he was smart with his money lol

This just isn't true.
The TE market is increasing rapidly.
Schultz market value is 12.6M per year according to Spotrac.

You are getting him for less than that with no future guarantee.

This draft class is reportedly awful at TE. None in R1 on most boards.
I am a fan of the ISU kid Charlie Kolar but he's generally regarded as a 125-175 area player. Not a day 1 starter.

And the FA class is definitely bad right now.
Gronk is retiring.
Evan Engram is always hurt.
Ertz is older and been demoted once.
So not a lot of good options there imo.
A guy like Njoku has been inconsistent yet has great upside.. but PFF suggests he gets 12.5M per year.

I mean you can generally never say never but if there is a great deal at TE it feels like you'd have to gamble on someone growing into the role or displaying better health.

FA TE #2
DALTON SCHULTZ
PFF Free Agency Rank: 21
2021 Snaps: 1,050
2021 PFF grade: 78.2 (6th of 70)

Schultz took full advantage of Blake Jarwin‘s absence in the middle of the 2021 season and made a name for himself. Schultz’s 77.0 receiving grade ranked eighth among tight ends in 2021, with his 78 receptions coming in at third place. The former fourth-round pick initially seemed like a limited athlete with all the intangibles that come with a Stanford tight end, but he’s blossoming into a solid all-around player at the position.

Projected contract: 4 yrs — $11.25m avg/yr

 

[Acceptablename]

Braudus and Fisher are 2 guys who just make things up and hope something ends up being remotely close.

If they were happy with Jarwin they wouldn't need to keep schultz and since he's injured you can't cut him so you give him a settlement and move on then watch him be healthy enough to join another team later summer.

They have contacts

It is true. Schultz is a mediocre tight end, who isn’t a very good blocker and he has inflated stats because he was the 4th or 5th passing option and defenses were more worried about the receivers.

he is mediocre. I don’t care what his “projected” contract numbers are. Just because other people may want to overpay him, doesn’t mean the cowboys should.

he is a dime a dozen TE. An easily replaceable player.

let’s stop talking about him like he is a stud. You mention the draft class. Well Schultz himself was a 4th rounder. You can get TE’a with his talent level in the 3rd/4th round.

he isn’t a top 5 TE and cutting a guy like Cooper to pay him top 5 money even for one season is insanity.

this front office doesn’t know what they’re doing.


Also. If you franchise tag him. To what end? He becomes a FA again the next year. Are the cowboys winning the Super Bowl this year? Cutting Cooper and/or tank but keeping Schultz helps attain that goal this year?

if not, they need to resign him or let him walk next year?

If they’re going to go for it. I would rather they keep everyone, restructure some deals and get aggressive and do it.

cutting Cooper and/or tank to help keep an inferior player like Schultz is my main issue. It makes no sense.

 

[speedkilz88]

Why is anyone acting like he is an impact player anyways? Missing Jarwin doesn't put us in a bind. We can get the same guy in the 5th round. We can do markedly better in FA, and probably cheaper too.

Can they get out of his contract with the injury though?

 

[CWR]

Can they get out of his contract with the injury though?

As it's been explained to me, they will have to pursue an injury settlement. I don't know the prerequisites though. I'm sure the players union offers some protection; otherwise, teams would take advantage.

Yeah it's really dumb.

He might be the least talented franchise tag ever.

 

[Risen Star]

Here's DJ's take on the TE class this year and I agree with him.

 

[john van brocklin]

True, it just suprises me a bit at how much attention his injury has received.

I don't get it.
Schultz is one dimensional.
We need a TE that can block too.

 

[32BellyOption]

Jarwin is the Sean Lee of TE’s.

 

[BobSacamano]

Tag Shultz and get his replacement in the draft. Problem solved.

 

[dmq]

Well Blake, we always have the Giants game.

 

[Alexander]

I have no idea why people need Broaddus to affirm.

It was already reported it was rare and bad.

 

[Alexander]

Tag Shultz and get his replacement in the draft. Problem solved.

Tagging Schultz would be just be our own special brand of idiotic style at work.

 

[eromeopolk]

Imagine cutting Coop to save money then paying Schultz 11 million.

That's Jerry Dumbo GM Jones at his best. You would be better off keeping Cooper, letting Schultz walk, and sign OJ Howard, and Donald Parham to one year prove it deals with options. Do not do one year and done deals without options or you end up letting Robert Quinn go to the Bears and collect 18.5 sacks.

Yeah, we give Jarwin an injury settlement, he signs with NY or Philly in August. Cheap. He’s playing by November…
