As the Cowboys work through their OTAs period, a key figure is notably absent in star tight end Dalton Schultz. The fifth-year player was issued the franchise tag this offseason but is seeking a long-term deal, something Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott can relate to.
Prescott had a similar experience when he was seeking an extension, which he ultimately got just over a year ago in the form of a four-year, $160 million deal. On Wednesday, Prescott said he understands what Schultz is going through and supports his choice to stay away from team activities.
“I realize that I went through the things that I went through, obviously not just in life but in football as well, to help others,” Prescott said, per the Cowboys team site.
