We should separate out those on a rookie deal. Schultz came off the tag last season and ended up with less than what he got in 2022. The time to get that long term contract with the most guaranteed money is when you come off your rookie deal when you are 25-28 years old.For reference this would make Schultz the 11th highest paid tight end between Higbee and Kyle Pitts
Very deep TE class this year as well. Expect a lot of them to go in the first 2 days of the draft.The TE market is really bad. Schultz is a good player but not needed in Dallas.
