With little resistance from the Cowboys, Dalton Schultz has a new NFL home.
The tight end plans to sign with the Houston Texans, agreeing to a one-year contract worth up to $9 million, a person familiar with the decision said Monday. Over the past week, Schultz found the tight-end market less fertile than hoped. Clubs are looking ahead to what is considered a deep draft at the position.
The Cowboys long seemed resigned to the notion of allowing Schultz to walk in free agency. Jake Ferguson, Peyton Hendershot and Sean McKeon are all under contract for 2023. Rather than keep Schultz, they were content to continue developing their youth and likely add to it next month.
