Monday morning brought news that Dalton Schultz, who has already signed his franchise tag and was working towards a long-term contract extension, would be skipping the remainder of voluntary OTA’s. This is a fairly common tactic for players who are operating under the tag, so it shouldn’t be too surprising to see Schultz employ it after reaching this point of the offseason with no deal yet struck.
It does, however, prompt a conversation around Schultz and how much the Cowboys should be willing to pay the former fourth-round pick. It’s notable that Schultz’s move comes just over a week after Browns tight end David Njoku, also tagged this year, inked a four-year extension worth $56.
