INDIANAPOLIS — Barring an unforeseen development, Dalton Schultz will hit the open market this month, putting the Cowboys tight end one step closer to a potential departure in free agency.
Little momentum presently exists toward a new contract between him and the club, people familiar with the situation indicated this week at the NFL scouting combine. It would take a dramatic turn of events for Schultz not to begin contract negotiations with other clubs when allowed to do so March 13.
He can sign elsewhere as early as March 15 when his contract expires.
