The Facts: After skipping the final week of voluntary organized team activities, Schultz has shown up for this week's mandatory minicamp, sources confirmed.

Diehards Line: Had Schultz skipped the minicamp, he would have been subject to fines totaling more than $95,000 over the three days. ... Schultz, 25, informed the Cowboys he would not be at the OTAs with the hope of jump-starting negotiations on a long-term deal. The Cowboys placed the $10.9 million franchise tag on Schultz at the start of the offseason, and while talks have picked up recently, a deal is not considered close. If the sides are unable to reach an agreement by July 15, Schultz will have to play the season on the tag. Over the past two seasons, Schultz has caught 141 passes, including 78 for 808 yards and eight touchdowns last season. He joined Jason Witten as the only tight end in franchise history with at least 75 catches, 800 yards and eight touchdowns in a season.
