With little resistance from the Cowboys, Dalton Schultz has a new NFL home. The tight end plans to sign with the Houston Texans, agreeing to a one-year...
. Jake Ferguson, Peyton Hendershot and Sean McKeon are all under contract for 2023. Rather than keep Schultz, they were content to continue developing their youth and likely add to it next month.Schultz arrived in Dallas as a 2018 fourth-round pick and gradually became a reliable contributor, developing as strong of a rapport with quarterback Dak Prescott as anyone.
. This month, the Cowboys used their tag on running back Tony Pollard for $10.1 million rather than the $13.1 million to tag Schultz a second time.In 2022, the Cleveland Browns gave tight end David Njoku a four-year, $54.75 million. That sort of money wasn’t to be found this offseason. The Cowboys were unwilling to go that high during negotiations last year and, while trading for cornerback Stephon Gilmore and wide receiver Brandin Cooks, preferred to invest in veteran talent elsewhere.
Schultz is one of seven tight ends with 2,000 or more receiving yards combined in the past three years. Travis Kelce, Mark Andrews, George Kittle, Darren Waller, T.J. Hockenson and Dallas Goedert are the others. Schultz is fourth in receptions, seventh in yards and fifth in touchdowns among tight ends over that span.
resulting in a drop in his overall production. He totaled 57 receptions for 577 yards and five touchdowns before a team-high seven catches for 95 yards and two touchdowns in a Jan. 16 playoff win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneersfor helping guide them, offering advice both on and off the field while celebrating their successes.He bided his time on special teams and as a situational blocker behind Jason Witten and Blake Jarwin.
