Cowboys news: Point/Counterpoint on giving Dalton Schultz a big contract

Dallas’ tight end has been at the center of conversation for the past two days.

No defensive coordinator is sitting around this offseason trying to figure out how to stop Schultz. That’s not a knock, just reality.

He caught 78 passes for 808 yards and eight touchdowns last season. He’s good, but he’s not the difference between winning or losing a championship. Those are the players who deserve the richest contracts. Schultz, who’s reportedly sitting out voluntary team activities until his contract gets resolved, is earning $10.9 million this season since the club put the franchise tag on him.
