Good.

1 good year shouldn't get you top money.

Smart move. I just wouldn’t extend him unless he has another outstanding season.

It’s crazy but if the Cowboys franchise Shultz again next season, it would be lower then the yearly salary the Cleveland tight end is making. I wish the Cowboys used this philosophy with Zeke.

Good. He is already overpaid on the tag.

Zeke held out with 2 years left on his deal. He didnt even get to the point of being able to tag him.

He needs to go workout in Cabo

Yep. If he plays lights out this season and can block them let’s talk.

King Henry did not hold out and signed a team friendly deal. Zeke holdouts and the Joneses bend over.

An underrated player. Dude does exactly what the team asks him to do and at a fairly level multiple years in a row. Better than several TE's who received big contracts in the off season.

because of Schultz's durability and the scheme and way he is used vs zones and play action roll outs, dump offs, i can easily see Schultz repeating that same catch total numbers.

But a one year deal for Schultz's services works out great as I'd like to have a superlative TE replacement that offers much more than a zone TE.

All eyes on rookie Ferguson if he can show any glimpses of being as such.
plus adding another TE No.1 or No.2 in next year's TE draft class, isn't out of the question either.

Smart would be having the ability to gauge whether he can have another season like that. And getting it right. And signing him now if he will.

Because if he does have another season like that or better, then he will be even more expensive.

Personally, I think he has another great season and possibly even better with Cooper gone.

How do you figure that one?

Agree. Maybe it's a sign Jerry finally gets it. He's done that with countless players only to get pooped on. Remember Miles Austin? Had that one great season & Jerry gave him a mega deal the following year only to see Austin crumble back to reality.

And where do you find one of those and how much to you think one of those will cost?

TE is a position where the top guys are paid lower on average then WR's. Its better business to sign a good TE.

It all depends on what Shultz is demanding. Do you even know to say its smart or dumb?

If Shultz wants 10 million a year, its dumb we havent signed him. If its 15 million per year, then I definitely agree its smart to wait.

Same way a TE needy team does - you draft one, and you cannot be afraid of the draft, and you cannot force serviceable, scheme related players hold you
hostage. You believe in your player personnel team.

I am not in the room or know Schultz agent. But I can almost 100% guarantee you that David Njokus 4 year, $56 million dollar deal is the starting point and only going up. Njoku hasn’t had a season close to what Schultz had last season and just cashed in.

Dak got franchise tagged TWICE. Dak stayed put. He didn't leave to another team or even consider it. Dak stayed loyal to the Cowboys, showed his abilities on the field, and ultimately, got handsomely rewarded for his loyalty and dedication.

We're soon going to find out how much Dalton Schultz truly wants to remain a Cowboy.
