The Dallas Cowboys finally locked up one of the biggest in-house free agents on Tuesday by signing safety Donovan Wilson to a three-year deal.

Another player the Cowboys have to decide on, tight end Dalton Schultz, isn't having the same luck as Wilson when it comes to being retained. 

According to NFL Network's Jane Slater, the Cowboys and Schultz are not on the same page, and free agency officially begins on Wednesday. 

"Dalton Schultz has not received any offer from the Dallas Cowboys, and it's expected that he will likely find himself wearing another jersey next season," said Slater.

This isn't too surprising after the events that have taken place over the last year.

Schultz had his coming out party in 2021 which was the final year of his rookie deal. He amassed 78 receptions for 808 yards and eight touchdowns. 

Predictably, Schultz was looking for a new contract, and the Cowboys wanted him back. However, the two sides couldn't agree and Schultz received the franchise tag for $10.9 million. 

This gave Schultz another chance to show his worth last season and drive up his asking price, but it didn’t work in his favor.

Schultz's numbers went down across the board with 57 receptions for 577 yards and five touchdowns. So, from the Cowboys' perspective, paying Schultz even more annually on a long-term deal after a dip in production wasn't likely.

Slater made a very good point in her report as well.

The Cowboys have great potential in their tight end room with Jake Ferguson and Peyton Hendershot. Sean McKeon, who's been on the team since 2020, has a nice ceiling as well. 

As Slater also mentioned, the 2023 draft class is loaded with tight prospects, and the Cowboys have been linked to Utah's Dalton Kincaid in mock drafts by Dane Brugler of The Athletic and ESPN's Mel Kiper recently.

So, the Schultz experience in Dallas, although it showed some life, appears to be over.
