FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy is not sure whether franchise-tagged tight end Dalton Schultz will participate in next week's mandatory minicamp.
McCarthy said Schultz informed him last week he would not be at this week's final voluntary organized team activities with hopes of jumpstarting negotiations toward a long-term contract by the July 15 deadline.
"You have business situations that happen all the time in this league, so had a long talk with him on Friday about it," McCarthy said. "We'll see what next week brings."
If Schultz does not practice, he would be subject to fines totaling more than $95,000.
