The Cowboys have until March 8 to place the franchise tag on Schultz. The franchise tag for tight ends is $11 but it is their only hope to keep him as the Cowboys expect to priced out of the market in free agency, per sources.
Even if they do bring back Schultz on the franchise tag, look for the Cowboys to take a tight end in the middle rounds of the NFL Draft. It’s a healthy draft for tight ends, though none are deemed worthy of a first-round pick.
The team met with two of the draft’s top tight end prospects in Texas A&M’s Jalen Wydermyer and Coastal Carolina’s Isaiah Likely at this week’s NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
