Latest talk is Chargers are interested seeing as how Moore is there now and the current starting Chargers TE is in the last year of his deal with a 2023 cap hit of $8.25M with $4M in dead money ($4.25M cap savings if traded or released)....while he put up 58 catches for 555 yards and 4 td's he is in need of an improvement which Schultz is.

Hurst ain't setting the market for anyone
The only thing Hurst has going for him is he was drafted by Baltimore and the entire NFL seems to view Baltimore as a TE factory. See Mark Andrews (theirs), Hurst, Max Williams, Darren Waller, and Josh Oliver just to name a few active ones.

A draft full of decent TEs is helping. Also, Shultz was hurt for a few games which lowered his stats. All and all wish Shultz the best, and hope Dallas finds a good TE in the draft.

I don't think that anyone is giving the Raven credit for guys who hardly played there like Waller and Hurst. And I don't think anyone looks at Max Williams or Josh Oliver as legit NFL starters. Of those players, only Waller has played well.

Given the quality of the guys you mentioned, you would think teams would look at as a TE factory. Bennett and Fasano and now Schultz had solid careers.

Yeah it's concerning that he's still out there. I don't want him back under any realistic deal. Find a seam stretcher.
The only seam stretcher is Kincaid in the draft unless you go for speedy TEs who weren’t very productive. I think Hendershot will be the seam threat, so I’m okay with Shultz returning on a cheap deal. He has been productive.

Pass catching TEs definitely have a market. He'll 100% be one a roster next year and contribute

I thought some teams were serious about signing him. He’s either weighing several offers or his market has dampened significantly.

Waller played his entire rookie deal for the Ravens and Hurst played his first 2 years (plenty to shape a player). Also we are talking simultaneously so 5 starters at TE starting from one team is a lot.

I would call the Cowboys generally more of an OLine factory (though less so lately) and the Steelers a WR factory.

Waller played only two years with the Ravens. Made a whopping 12 catches. Hurst and Williams and Oliver ... a bit of a stretch to call them "starters" - yeah, Hurst started ... but he wasn't very good.

I was ready to move on but if the market isn’t there for him, I’m fine with keeping him.

Being real though, I’m fine with drafting a tight end in the third round and seeing what happens

This guy ready to take honest offer? 3 for 20? Does he even have market? Low ball him
Probably not going to happen. Every time I see a market value, the player either signs for close to it, or for more, never less. His market value is listed at 15.1M. Three years for 20M doesn't even come close. Some team with plenty of cap room might sign him close to his market value.
