NFL Insider Reveals Shocking Dalton Schultz Update

Tight end Dalton Schultz has been an asset for the Dallas Cowboys.

He is on the rise after finishing with 808 yards and eight touchdowns last season.

Those numbers should be a no-brainer for team owner Jerry Jones to give him a hefty contract extension.

However, negotiations between Schultz and the Cowboys are going nowhere, as shared by NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero.

Frustrated by the state of contract talks, #Cowboys franchise-tagged TE Dalton Schultz informed the team he won’t attend the rest of voluntary OTAs, per sources.

Schultz already signed his franchise tender, locking in a $10.931 million salary for 2022 if no deal by July 15.

Pelissero tweeted, “Frustrated by the state of contract talks, #Cowboys franchise-tagged TE Dalton Schultz informed the team he won’t attend the rest of voluntary OTAs, per sources. Schultz already signed his franchise tender, locking in a $10.931 million salary for 2022 if no deal by July 15.”

With Amari Cooper and Cedrick Wilson gone, Dallas needs all the help it can get in the passing game.

Schultz can help fill the void those receivers left while also blocking for Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott during run plays.

Unfortunately, they are now in danger of losing the promising tight end from Stanford after this year.

One season can go by quickly, which means that a long-term deal should be in place before their 2022 campaign starts.

It would be difficult to undergo negotiations while the season is going on because Schultz will be focused on helping the Cowboys.

Likewise, it would be expensive to put him under the tag for another year, even if the salary cap is set to increase.

 

What’s A Fair Deal For Schultz?

The Cowboys can refer to the contract David Njoku signed with the Cleveland Browns.

Njoku got a four-year, $54.75 million contract from the Browns after initially being assigned the franchise tag.

Schultz has better numbers than Njoku, making him deserving of a more lucrative contract.

Anything less than Njoku’s annual average value would be a travesty.
