The Cowboys tagged Tony Pollard instead of Schultz, so the tight end is free to explore his options.
The tight end position was a complete disaster in fantasy football last season. Just one player (Travis Kelce) finished with over 300 PPR points, while only two others (T.J. Hockenson, George Kittle) hit the 200-point mark. Mark Andrews, who was the top tight end in 2021, scored fewer than 200 points. Heck, Taysom Hill (who plays both quarterback and tight end) was a top-10 player at the position last season.
One of the better tight ends in the league, Dalton Schultz, scored 142.
The Fighting Irish coach didn’t think the game featured an ‘A’ crew.
The Mike Brey era at Notre Dame came to a close on Tuesday night, with a 67–64 loss to Virginia Tech in the ACC men’s basketball tournament.
The Fighting Irish finished 11–21 with a 3–17 record in league play, finishing in the No. 14 spot in the league. The team will miss the NCAA tournament after a return to the Big Dance a year ago, which was Brey’s program’s first appearance since 2017.
Naturally, Brey spent time after the game reflecting on his time at Notre Dame, which dates back to 2000.

The USFL will be back for a second consecutive season with kickoff set for April, and the spring league made sure that fans who have the football itch can scratch it and do it in an affordable way.
In 2023, the USFL will have different hubs across the U.S. and games will not be played only in Alabama like it was last year. Ford Field in Detroit, Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio, Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium in Memphis, Tennessee, and Protective Stadium in Birmingham will all host teams this season.
