Gut punch for my TEP team relying on Schultz (or for McBride to break out in year 2)
Same. I have Kmet/Schultz, TE-P, start 2 TE. Ugh.
I'd love to see him go to Washington. Commanders usually spend years waiting for frequently-injured TE's to rebound and duplicate their top season from years ago, which they never duplicate. (Jordan Reed, Logan Thomas)
Draft TEs in the late 2nd and 3rd, otherwise trade for them. They are too risky in the first and early 2nd
Seems like many fantasy pundits were calling this one over the last few weeks with the Schultz/Moore connection. Would probably be a good landing spot for Schultz with Keenan starting to get up there in age.
I would be pretty relieved for my Schultz teams with this landing spot. Best case scenario outside of returning to Dallas. I think he's a solid, situation-dependant TE, so he needs a good landing spot to stay relevant.
little Cooks/Schultz swap
Certainly prefer the Dallas side of that swap.
Ya, they need to sign someone and also invest heavily in the draft in WR. 5 Picks in the top 73, I wouldn't be surprised if QB, WR, WR was 3 of those picks. RB/TE is already set, so invest early in young offensive talent and give it a year.
Schultz is excellent at finding soft spots in the zone where he seemingly gets open at will.
I figured he was going for bang for the buck. $9M is a lot considering what we’ve seen on the TE market so far.
Oh c'mon now with the comparison.
I may be misunderstanding what you are saying, but I certainly don't think Dak is worse off from losing Schultz and gaining Cooks. That's a major pass catcher upgrade in my eyes.
I agree with the general sentiment that Dak‘s situation didn’t get worse, but Schultz’s situation certainly did.
Neither of these statements are accurate.
Counterpoint: The Texans have no one else at TE, while the Cowboys were effectively sprinkling in Hendershot & Fergusen.
They were in 2022. Among TE's with 50 or more catches, only Dawson Knox had a higher drop %. Among TE's with 50 targets, only 2 rookies (Likely and Dulcich) and Knox had a higher drop %.
Question, will Hendershot + Ferguson be able to replace his production? Or will it just be running Trips WR all day going Lamb/Gallup/Cooks? Considering MM "wants to run the ball more" you'd think you'd have the TE more on the field.
I would bet on the TE production dropping somewhat just from an increase in WR production. I also think the passing game will be more effective in general just from Dak not having a broken hand, and there not being 5 Cooper Rush starts. I would expect 3-WR to be the Cowboys base formation though.
I expect Ferguson to get the bulk of Schultz’s work with Hendershot blocking & getting a few targets.
2022 was a lot of not Dak behind center. As a Schultz shareholder, I watched a lot of those games, and throwing to the TE was not a strong suit of Cooper Rush’s game.
He’s said some version of this many times in the past. And then he never does. lol
I’ll take him over Waller just because I’m not convinced that Waller can stay on the field.
I mean, yes in the sense that everybody's best games were with Dak under center. He's a pro bowl QB, and Rush is a bad backup Dallas had to hide. That said, I used drop % and not catch %. So the drops weren't uncatchable, they were drops. Looking at Schultz full career it was an anomaly for him but did still happen. In Schultz defense, he was better than Gallup.
That reminded me of one of my favorite coach quotes ever, when Mike Ditka was coaching the Saints and they were asking why he was starting end of career Billy Joe Tolliver over young Danny Wuerffel, and he said the only positive thing about Wuerffel is that he falls forward when he's getting sacked.

I suggest, “Dalton Schultz, HOU’s #1 Receiver.”
I suggest 3 yards and a cloud of bust.
He’ll be a top 10 PPR TE
Love the guy as he pretty much was the reason for a post season title when AJ Brown was making Gabe Davis look like a HOFer. That said, the regular season was disappointing. Goedert, Dalton, and Hockerson were the three TEs tiered together after Kelce, Waller, Andrews, Pitts, Kittle. Hockerson ended up being the right choice in a landside and Goedert was significantly better when you factor in a replacement for the games he missed.
