A day after trading their top receiver to the Cowboys, the Texans are reportedly making a move to add a veteran pass catcher with ties to their cross-state rival.
Houston reached an agreement with tight end Dalton Schultz on a one-year deal worth up to $9 million, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported Monday. The news comes on the heels of a reported deal between the Texans and Cowboys that sent receiver Brandin Cooks to Dallas in exchange for a 2023 fifth-round pick and a ’24 sixth-round pick.
Drafted in the fourth round in 2018, Schultz, 26, has spent his first five seasons with the Cowboys, where he has played a pivotal role as a reliable safety valve for quarterback Dak Prescott over the last three seasons. In 2022, Schultz hauled in 57 receptions (84 targets) for 577 yards and five touchdowns in 15 starts during a 12–5 campaign that ended in a divisional round loss to the 49ers.
