Correct, but they have to tell him now whether they take the option, which locks it in for the following season. Point is, they are going to have to get some of these guys extensions worked out soon, because if they carry 3-4 stars into the same FA class, they will only be able to tag one
I don't know what to do with him. It's a 1 year deal not a LT deal, which is much more palatable when a player may not be worth their salary. I'm fine cutting Smith. I'm just saying he isn't coming back at a $17M cap hit to be a swing tackle. That would be nuts
They obviously will get this done. They have no choice. They should continue the two back approach and may need to draft a RB to replace Zeke. Pollard is very versatile. Underrated as a runner,but I think you put him in situations where you get him in space much like the Niners use Debo.
yeah. We are definitely on the same page.
Maybe Smith takes a pay cut. Maybe they just show some honor and pay him. I would rather pay Smith or work out a team friendly extension than count on guys like Ball and Walentzko. Schultz certainly was not worth that franchise tag. I actually think Ferguson can be the next franchise TE anyway . I like his overall game better than Schultz
I pretty much came out against the Schultz tag early on and hugely against a big $ LT deal. A lot of that was due to his horrible blocking the year before. But, the team never addressed TE until the draft and at that point it was too late to know if you had any players or not until after you needed to make a decision on Schultz so tagging him was the only choice for last year. I'm still against a LT deal unless it is for well below what the expected $'s are (and a big part of that is Ferguson) but know 100% he is a security blanket for Dak and for everyone saying get Dak more weapons you can't also say let Schultz go and not expect it to negatively impact Dak.
I’m with ya on your take. Schultz whlie good is not the second coming of Jay Novachek. Jay was the mold for todays modern tight ends just a bit light in the weight dept. kinda funny though because he did almost nothing with the Cards until Plan B and Joe Bugel left him unprotected and he signed with Dallas. The rest was history. But I have confidence in Dallas finding good replacements for Schultz they have done well the last few years finding diamonds in the rough. Ferguson will be a player I believe. I’m really curious what the off season will bring. As always a solid forward looking team can find ways to bring in talented players others have cast off but somehow Dallas needs to find some FA help that won’t break the bank and shore up some “leaks”.I pretty much came out against the Schultz tag early on and hugely against a big $ LT deal.

Let him test the market, if he gets a great offer, thank him for his time and bye bye. I think he'll get better money elsewhere than what Dallas needs to pony up. We have enough young talent at TE where we don't need to pour $$$ there.I pretty much came out against the Schultz tag early on and hugely against a big $ LT deal.

I think the 1st major contract we would consider restructuring is Zack Martins. Depending on what the staff thinks his longevity is. I could see them extending him even though his contract isnt there yet, to move money around.
By that same logic, I think taking Hendon Hooker in the 2nd round would be a fantastic pick. The reason why you can't even debate whether Dak should be extended or not is the only option on the roster if you do is Cooper Rush. Take Hooker now and develop him. If Dak plays so well the next 3 years that you want to keep on keeping on with him, great. But don't do it because you have no choice.I pretty much came out against the Schultz tag early on and hugely against a big $ LT deal. A lot of that was due to his horrible blocking the year before.

Zack is always seemingly restructured and will be until he stops playing at an All Pro level. The guys you should restructure are the ones you expect to see the end of their contract
I just have a feeling Quinn is getting more the unit he envisioned.
No chance that's true
It was for Steve Smith. So I have hope.No chance that's true
After 4 months? Sorry, There’s just no way
