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.

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
