Cowboys Rumors: Dalton Schultz Receives Franchise Tag Ahead of NFL Free Agency

Tight end Dalton Schultz will be back with the Dallas Cowboys in 2022.

Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Cowboys will use their franchise tag on Schultz ahead of Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline.

The Cowboys can still negotiate a long-term extension with Schultz, but this move ensures he won't be able to test the market.

The franchise tag value for tight ends in 2022 is $10.9 million.

Dallas is in a potential cap crunch this offseason, though there are some moves to be made that can free up a lot of money.
