Texans re-sign Dalton Schultz (3 years, $36M)

Wildin'. Glad he's signed! Decent splash. Hopefully we do well in the draft again or make a splash with someone else and signing them.

 

Man Cowgirls are really in their feeling about what Dalton said regarding the Circus Jerrah runs up north.

 

He was actually paid like a top 3 which we hope he will be.

 

You need to go checkout the list of highest paid TE's.

Calculation methods must deviate with the Franchise Tax being the average of the top 5 and set at $12,051,000 or ~ 2.5 where I got the implied 3.

Using your numbers, the Franchise tag should have been $15,412,40, a difference of $3,361,400. It's not an insignificant difference.

 

$12.05M is based on 2023 TE cap hit numbers. At the moment, the 2024 top 5 TE cap numbers are significantly higher at $16.9M according to Spotrac. This number might come down a bit after teams do some restructuring to reduce their salary cap hit to add more players.

 

All in all I feel it's in line with where we all feel he is rated vs his pay as compared to others - he is ranked around 10-11 in most of everyone's assessment and that reflects on the compensation- glad he is signed and let's keep at it on sound decisions

 

So his cap hit this year is isn't as much as I thought it would be. Seems like they saving some cap for a big signing maybe?

His last year has only 2.5mil dead money. He's definitely going to sign another contract or he's getting cut...freeing up $11.5mil.

 

You need to recalculate your spreadsheets. Or sort by the right column...whichever works

 

He needs to be benched.

He isn’t good at anything.

Bad hands- Check
Lack of separation- Check
Bad Blocking- Check

Schultz has consistently stalled drives this year with drops/penalties.

 

Fell off after he gets his contract. I thought he was made of better stuff than that.

 

You get a TD, and you get a TD, and you get a TD. No TD for you Shultz, go away.

 

Yeah he sucks dick now.

 

Damn
