The more homegrown talent an NFL team develops, the more tough free agency decisions they eventually have make. The Dallas Cowboys are a great example of this, as they have championship aspirations entering the 2022 season, but are currently more than $20 million over the salary cap with two dozen upcoming free agents.
One of those talented players the Cowboys may be in danger of losing to the highest bidder is tight end Dalton Schultz. The former Stanford standout is coming off a career year where he established himself firmly atop the Cowboys depth chart. However, given the remaining tight ends on their roster, along with the other free agents Dallas has to deal with, the Cowboys with have a hard choice to make regarding re-signing Schultz at his market value.
