If Shultz walks, what is your level of confidence in Ferguson and Hendershot

[buybuydandavis]

Complete confidence.

But I don't think Schultz is going anywhere.

Can't pay a guy a 7 figures salary if you have *2* replacements under contract for years making nothing.

 

[DCreppinBoysfan]

Need to see Ferguson in more blocking scenarios but I have no problem moving on from Schultz. But if you told me we lose Schultz and Pollard without any clear replacement weapons on offensive then I’m getting irritated

 

[DCreppinBoysfan]

I wish we would have traded for T.J. Hockenson.

He had a couple of big drops the last couple of weeks for Minny including against Dallas

 

[Risen Star]

He had a couple of big drops the last couple of weeks for Minny including against Dallas

T.J. Hockenson is twice as talented as any TE on our roster.

 

[ghst187]

High confidence in those two but I do like Schultz a lot too. He and Dak seem to have some chemistry. Love to see us keep all three but hard to imagine giving Schultz what he might get elsewhere.

 

[Daillest88]

Jerry will bring Schultz back. He's Dak's security blanket and Jerry sees Witten in him

Doubt it . I think we are seeing the potential of what these young guys can do. Schultz getting a long term deal is a waste of money

 

[Daillest88]

Fully confident in Ferguson.

Schultz has great chemistry with Dak so I’d try to keep him but nowhere near what’s he getting on the tag.

Use the money to help the run defense or WR room.

Sign pollard. Dude doesn’t have the wear and tear of other running backs and is just a threat overall.

Schultz money is going to help retain Pollard.

TP should at very least be franchised next season.

No room for Schultzie. But Cowboys will find another Schultz type player in draft or FA.

Ferguson & Hendershot will get expanded roles next season. And well deserved.

 

[RandyOh]

I'm sure after more playing time this year and a full offseason, Ferg can step into Shultz spot and we wouldn't miss a beat, but i have that feeling Shultz will test the market, wont garner the level of interest you think he would, and will be brought back. Like how we did with Kearse.

 

[DandyDon52]

The future is bright with these young guys at tightend. I have 100% faith in Ferguson and Hendershot going forward. I just wish the Cowboys were as good at picking wide receivers and defensive tackles. Shultz should be able to land a decent contract elsewhere and we need to spend that money elsewhere.

true, but if dak wants shultz and lobbies for him, they will keep him.

 

[8FOR!3]

Schultz makes plays, I'll give him that. But so do Ferguson/Hendershot and they look more explosive doing it. With McKeon still around as well I'm fine with those 3 going into next season. This is one of the places where we're going to have to save money.

 

[erod]

Schultz is massively overrated.

 

[Walker]

I dont think Schultz is going anywhere. I think he is playing right where the contract the Cowboys want to sign him.

 

[goshann]

Fully confident in Ferguson.

Schultz has great chemistry with Dak so I’d try to keep him but nowhere near what’s he getting on the tag.

Use the money to help the run defense or WR room.

When dak is uncomfortable Shultz is still the guy talk will look to. Not so sure he is gone.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

Neither does what Shultz does in terms of a legit route runner pass catcher TE. Case and point the 7 route Shultz catches for a TD taking the lead Thursday. The VARIETY we have at TE is awesome but I don't think we have an elite pass catcher outside of Shultz.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

no amount of fun will make up for 6-8 million difference in pay per year.

Maybe, but, if he feels that this is a good place to win a Super Bowl, then perhaps he might give a discount. Otherwise, I can't see him staying.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Unfortunately Dalton is gone after this season and it’s the worst kept secret in the NFL. Fergie, Sean and PH will hold it down tho.

 

[dfense]

Ferguson is going to be a star. He's already a good blocker.

 

[Reid1boys]

Maybe, but, if he feels that this is a good place to win a Super Bowl, then perhaps he might give a discount. Otherwise, I can't see him staying.

he hasnt made a monster contract to be able to give a "Discount." He is gone after this season.

 

[Gemini Dolly]

Very confident in both.
