The Dallas Cowboys and Dalton Schultz have not reached a contract extension before today’s 4p ET deadline. This Cowboys News has been expected for weeks (or even months) really. The two sides were not close on a deal and hadn’t even spoken much at all in recent weeks. Schultz has already signed his $10.93 MM franchise tag tender, so a holdout of Cowboys Training Camp is not expected. But will this be his last year in Dallas? Or could a 2nd tag come next year? Cowboys Report Host Tom Downey breaks it down on today’s show! #NFL

The Dallas Cowboys when it was reported that tight end Dalton Schultz will skip the remaining portion of OTAs that are voluntary amid contract negotiations with the team. What makes this situation so interesting is that Schultz technically just signed a new contract with the Cowboys. The team placed the franchise tag on the fifth-year tight end who went for over 800 yards last season with eight touchdowns, and unlike most holdout situations of that variety Schultz signed the tag as noted.

Cowboys Rumors today focus on the future of Dalton Schultz. There’s less than two months left before the NFL Franchise Tag Extension Deadline, giving the Cowboys a shrinking timeline to agree to a long-term deal with Schultz before he’s required to play on the tag. Schultz has signed his tender worth just under $11 million, setting a baseline for a new deal. If the Cowboys pay Schultz, it will be expensive overall, but would bring down his cap hit this year. Cowboys Report host Tom Downey looks at the future of Schultz and the Cowboys in today’s video. #NFL

Dallas Cowboys rumors exist saying that the Cowboys are “likely” to franchise tag tight end Dalton Schultz. However, as Cowboys Report host Tom Downey explains, that’s not what the original report from ESPN actually says! The ESPN report says that the Cowboys are “more likely” to use the tag on Schultz over DE Randy Gregory. And that makes perfect sense. There is no guarantee that the Cowboys will tag Schultz before the NFL Franchise Tag Deadline but it is a possibility. If the Cowboys do so, it would cost about $11 million for one year. #NFL

The Dallas Cowboys have a problem at the tight end position. Not only is Dalton Schultz set to be a free agent, the future of Blake Jarwin is now in doubt. Jarwin recently underwent another hip surgery and faces at least a 6-8 month recovery that is also putting his football career in doubt. Jarwin won’t be ready in time for Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season, leaving Sean McKeon as the lone tight end under contract right now. Does the Jarwin injury news increase the chance the Cowboys re-sign Schultz or franchise tag? Cowboys Report host Tom Downey breaks it down for ya. #NFL
