First of all, I might be the biggest fan of our young TEs, Hendershot, Schultz, even McKeon. But if you're Dalton Schultz and you're logging nearly 100 yards and 2 TDs along with some key blocks in the playoffs after being tagged in somewhat of a prove it year, and you keep that up moving forward, you might be making a case to justify getting the payday you want.
Schultz, and the other TEs, have been Dak's so-called security blanket.
What I really like is something I heard in McCarthy's press conference after win at Bucs: that Schultz actually goes to the QB meetings.
He had a slow start this year with the injury early on, but if he closes with a bang, Schultz could be on his way to earning that payday he was wanting this offseason.
Only time will tell, but if I was Dalton Schultz, I'd continue attending those QB meetings.
