Schultz to command top TE money

[CalPolyTechnique]

Of course it remains to be seen but fodder to discuss.

“According to CBS Sports’ Joel Corry, expect Schultz to earn a new contract similar to that of the New England Patriots‘ Hunter Henry. Henry signed his deal during the 2021 offseason and earned himself a three-year, $37.5 million deal and $25 million guaranteed.

Corry projects Schultz to earn a deal with a $12.5 million average, $25 million in guarantees across three years. That sort of contract would place Schultz in the top five among highest-paid players at his position in terms of annual value.“

[Manwiththeplan]

He really disappeared once teams caught on to him, so while it’s possible, I doubt it

 

[Einstein]

I like him and call him baby Witten, but honestly feel like we could draft a guy in the 2nd or 3rd round and get similar results if he wants crazy money. Way more priorities IMO

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Yeah. I don't see that.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Yeah, there’s no way I’m paying him like a Top 5 tight end.

I agree that I think he’s a benefactor of our receiving corp and scheme. I also think he makes a lot of boneheaded mistakes and is inconsistent as a blocker.

That said, I wouldn’t mind him back but it’s hot to be in the $7-9M per year realm.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

Well, that should net the Cowboys a 3rd round comp pick then. I doubt the Cowboys are going to sign any high priced FAs.

 

[Wolfpack]

I’d pass on that and let him walk.

 

[Cowboyny]

Move on. Heard a good te class in the draft, along with McKeon to fill the role

 

[Dalmations202]

no elite size
no elite RAC ability
no elite ability to block

good hands, smart, avg receiving TE

No way if I am Dallas I pay over what Jarwin is making (6.5M), and honestly that is an overpay for him and Jarwin.

 

[phildadon86]

Yeah. I don't see that.

Neither do I lol.

 

[starfan1]

Shultz is a terrible blocking TE. I used to think jarwin was but I’m not sure now so if he’s gonna get big $$$ let it be from someone else we can get his production from a draft pick

 

[USArmyVet]

He currently ranks 8th is receiving yards by a TE with 584 and is only 59 yards behind the #5 ranked TE, which would place him behind only Andrews, Kelce, Pitts, and Kittle......so depending on how he finishes do not be surprised if a team offers him Top 5 money and he bolts the Cowboys.

Last year Shultz looked like a young Witten.

This year he looks like an older (not old, just older) Witten, which makes me wonder if he's been injured or they are purposely using him differently this season.

 

[Scottishcowboy]

I'm a strong pass at that price, strong pass.

we already have too much of the cap tied up on the O he just isn't a difference maker. Take the comp pick (whatever that ends up being) and move on the next rookie along with that rookie contract.

 

[visionary]

Been very disappointing

Disappeared recently
Key drops
Missing blocks

I’d move on

Is that a nod you think they are keeping his price down?

 

[Adiba1977]

If he signs do we get a third or fourth round comp pick?

 

[Mannix]

NO WAY…I could visually see the first time he got on the field that he is a tweener….he is ok, but we can do a lot better.

 

[Knotamus]

Although I wouldn’t pay that to keep him, exp since we still have Jarwin and Sean McKeon (Dalton Schultz clone) under contract..

I can see the Hunter Henry comparison

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Of course, Gregory is at the top of the list but after him, you prioritize Shultz or CW IMO. Which is easier to replace with 2nd or 3rd round pick or cheaper to resign.
