Dalton Schultz's net worth: How much has the Houston Texans TE earned in his career?

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has an estimated net worth of $7 million. The Stanford alum earned all that money through a five-year NFL career, intelligent investments, and player-centered endorsement deals.

The Dallas Cowboys drafted Schultz in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft, and he remained on America's team until the 2023 off-season, when he joined the Houston Texans.

Schultz is one of the more underrated tight ends in the NFL, and he will be looking to have a coming-out season in Houston. He will likely get an elite quarterback prospect in the 2023 NFL Draft, which will be the first time he's playing with a quarterback not named Dak Prescott.

How much has Dalton Schultz earned in his NFL career?

Dalton Schultz has earned $15,855,529 in his NFL career, all as a member of the Dallas Cowboys. Schultz was a mainstay in Dallas for the last half a decade, and he was paid decently for his contribution to Jerry Jones' team.

He was drafted by the Cowboys in 2023 and immediately signed a rookie scale contract worth $2,912,359 over four years. His contract was the standard for a fourth-round pick, which meant that Schultz would have to earn a better deal through his performances.

He did just that, and the Cowboys franchise tagged him ahead of the 2022 NFL season. The franchise tag earned him $10,931,000 for the year, and judging by his performances, it was great value for the Cowboys.

Following the season, in which he rejected a three-year, $30 million contract from the Cowboys, he moved to the Houston Texans on a $9 million prove-it deal.

Dalton Schultz's contract breakdown and salary in 2023

Dalton Schultz has signed a contract to be the Houston Texans' number one right end for the 2023 NFL season. The contract he signed was worth $9,000,000 throughout the 2022 NFL season, and it will give him a chance to prove whether he's worth renewing.

Dalton Schultz's contract includes a significant amount guaranteed, and some yet-to-be-announced bonuses are part of the package.

This deal is the second-most that Schultz is earning, aside from the franchise tag deal he signed with the Dallas Cowboys last season. Schultz and the Houston Texans will look to have a bounce-back season after another atrocious season in 2022.

The Texans were so bad that they ended up with the second overall pick in the NFL Draft. As such, they are in pole position to select a generational talent at number two. Their fans will be hoping that they don't bottle this chance.
