One more deal to throw in for good measure was given to Cleveland’s David Njoku, a 2017 first-round pick who did have a fifth year so he finally came free this year, too. Goedert was able to get slightly more in AAV and become the third-highest paid tight end, but with a bit less guaranteed in the end.
Then, in November, right after the Eagles traded long-time star TE Zack Ertz, the Eagles and Goedert were able to use the Andrews deal to create their own four-year, $57 million deal with $35.2 million guaranteed. 6, Andrews and the Ravens agreed on a four-year extension to tack on to the end of his final rookie year to the tune of $56 million with $37.6 million fully guaranteed. None of the four were first-round picks and therefore all had their rookie deals expire at the end of 2021. Alas, the $10.9 million he is guaranteed for 2022 more than doubles the slightly-less-than $5 million he has made for his four years of work to this juncture of his career.Įven more interesting is how the four excellent tight ends from the 2018 class were handled by their teams. It appeared to be a mechanism only used to secure Schultz for Dallas in 2022, but in doing so secured him more money for one season than most of his draft mates will make in their career. In fact, the discussions never seemed to come even close to something substantive. Last week, the Cowboys elected to not find a long-term deal that Schultz would be happy about in place of his “franchise tag” designation given this spring. Since 2020, when Dallas made it a point to feature Schultz much more (partially because Blake Jarwin’s health issues began and never really ended), Schultz can put his numbers up against anyone, save Andrews. But, the conversation gets a lot more interesting the moment you move the sample sizes to just consider the past two seasons. Several of the nine players in front of him are no longer with their draft teams and only three would be considered better players than Schultz at this point: Baltimore’s Mark Andrews, Philadelphia’s Dallas Goedert and Miami’s Mike Gesicki. It will try to examine where his journey has gone so far, where 2022 might take him and beyond.ĭalton Schultz was the 10th tight end taken in the 2018 NFL Draft and, at pick 137, he certainly was much better than his draft spot.

Every week until the regular season, this series will put the spotlight on a key, but not fully established Cowboys player who is still on his way to his finished form.
