The Dallas Cowboys parted ways with Amari Cooper at the start of the offseason. His departure will certainly have a big impact on the team’s offense in the forthcoming NFL season. Now, the Cowboys might face a similar situation with another star player on their offense.
According to Ian Rapoport, Dalton Schultz, the Tight End of the Cowboys is not happy with the contract negotiations. He has refused to attend the voluntary OTAs, and he wants his extension to be settled soon.

Rapoport believes that the new deal of TE David Njoku with the Cleveland Browns has certainly played a huge role in Schultz’s decision. Njoku recently signed a contract worth $56.75 million for 4-years. As a result, Schultz also wants to get paid in a similar region.

The Dallas Cowboys now have to fix the Schultz situation quickly. They would not want to lose their star Tight End, as he is an important part of their offense. Jerry Jones, the owner of the Cowboys, should be able to handle this issue soon.
A tough battle awaits the Dallas Cowboys next season
The Dallas Cowboys were the NFC East champions last season and were able to qualify for the playoffs. However, in the approaching season of the NFL, things can change drastically. The Philadelphia Eagles are emerging as a strong contender, and there is a high possibility that they can win the division instead of the Cowboys.

Dak Prescott will be required to have a great season this year. Last year, he had a good season, but he fell short in big games which brought criticism toward him. Prescott will be ready to prove that he can lead this team in games of high magnitude as well.
On the other hand, the Eagles have loaded themselves up with new weapons in the offseason. The pressure will be on Jalen Hurts. Even though he was able to take them to the playoffs last year, the expectation around the franchise will be to win the division and make a deep playoff run.
