Sounds Like Pure Speculation

Signing him to that contract for 3 years. It was a head-scratcher then and remains so now.

I was wanting to cut him and save the $2M in cap room last year.  Instead of letting him walk and upgrading, we give him a new deal?  Joe Brady is gone, so the TE position actually exists again on this team.  Problem being, we simply don't have a receiving threat.

When Greg Olsen was here (pre-foot injury) teams had to ALWAYS account for him.  Dude was a threat to break a big one at any point.  Our TEs now?  One less man that the defense has to be worried about.

loved that seam route Cam would hit him on...

 Currently the 23rd paid TE by average salary. Whats head scratching about that?thar? That's got to be as low a contract as it gets for a veteran signed this past year 

Do you think he's anywhere close to the 23rd best TE in the league? I don't.

I honestly doubt he would've gotten anywhere near that on the open market.

It is.

This is one of those "predicted" (read: hypothetical) trades that lesser websites pull out of their ass.

Outside of Taysom Hill, who is now listed as a TE, this is the cream of the crop here.  There's about 8 more after this, then you get to Thomas.  So you have the top elite and top tier guys, second tier, then Ian Thomas?  I don't buy that at all.  He's getting TE1 money because that's where he's at on the depth chart, not because he's actually TE1 material.

Again, unless Baker totally craps the bed, I want Micheal Mayer in the draft next year.  I don't want to wait almost a freaking decade to fill Olsen's shoes like we did to fill Gross'.

this has been popping up over in reddit as well. It would probbaly be a player swap, like Robbie. Cowboys need a WR bad.. and we need a TE. I dont see this FO sneding out anymore picks especially early ones. 

I’m kind of thinking RA might have a good season with McAdoo’s offense and Baker’s arm.

Only thing, Schultz is playing on a franchise tag.  He's not going to be cheap.  Only thing is to maybe give him a new deal if we do trade for him.  One year at that amount is pretty steep.

I think people heard about this salary being high  but never looked at it in detail or with context.

Because he seems to have zero upside and large limitations at this point, so why sign him to that contract?

There are 32 teams in the league. His contract should be 48th in average salary.
