Schultz said no. He says at the combine there was no offer made. So it had to be recent. Foxsports saying Schultz willed up making 15mil ZAV
Schultz isnt great but he is good, and more important he has been daks go to guy in many many games. (he has been daks witten)
So with no Schultz , will that have a negative effect on dak ??

Is he really that much better than Cole Kmet though? Honest question, I don't really pay much attention to the Bears but Cole has been one of their top receivers (statistically speaking), not to mention he is a few years younger than Dalton.
When your QB is a subpar passer such as Fields, you need as many short yardage receivers as you can get.

So many uncomfortable issues like ego, deceptive negotiating tactics, and honest self-assessment can make or break a contract agreement.

The offer was probably close to fair from the perception of the team as represented by the Jones's. Also, they are probably the more realistic when it comes to Schult's true talent level and value. However, I'm sure any agent is going to look at the market because, most likely, somebody is going pay.

Don't get me wrong. He is a very productive player. Does he deserve to get paid like he's elite, a playmaker? he can get open and he plays well within his system but can he force defenses, even good ones, to dedicate additional help? Is he as big play option in a time of need?

Again, he's efficient, consistent, and reliable and yet, he doesn't belong in the same class as Kelce, Kittle and Andrews.

You never know. Perhaps the market will be disappointing and he stays but I doubt it. There is almost always that one team that sees things differently. It wasn't that long ago when the Cowboys were that team.
Well said.

I don’t think so. A lot of his catches are dump offs and curls.

I'm a Schultz fan who feels the exact same way as you, K.
Players like Schultz are very very good for a team. Hard nosed, great attitude, and a knack for getting open. However, you do not overpay that type of player. Crawford is a good example. If we hadn't overpaid him, and then messed up the DE position so badly that he was forced to play out of position, he would've gone down as a very nice rotational type player. It's funny when I compare Craws to Diggy, people have a fit. However, they're the same guy. Neither should start, but both are very nice complementary players. If we overpay Diggy, then he will become the hated whipping boy just as Craws was. Comparing Diggy to Craws is actually a compliment, although many have fallen in w/ the sheeples in convincing themselves that he was terrible, and that's just not true.

100% agreed, K. You're spot on.

Not at his price. It's the exact same situation w/ he and Schultz. Nice players, but ones you cannot pay at the top of the market.
yes I know but maybe we can see if he will take slightly less n a shorter deal 2 remain here. Maybe a 1 year deal with a 8 mill guarantee. Then he can test free agency next year. JUST AN IDEA.

Brandon Carr also. Very nice #2 type player. Why did we pay him as a #1 CB? I really don't get it. A simple evaluation of his skillset screams #2 CB.

In this case, my guess is that we fell in love w/ his high INT numbers and never evaluated/analyzed anything else about him.

The lesson to be learned is to quit frickin' overpaying players.

Wilson is slated to make around 5-6 mil/season. I think that'd be OK.

Schulz is way gone guys. The guy we must keep is Wilson.
"must" hes the 3rd S on this team we need his money for a WR/CB/LB

I like DW but sorry hes a cap casualty because we have needs to fill. cool if he stays but doubt that so many other factors will determine that ie Zeke, LVE and McGovern they staying or going?
