The Facts: A report late last week indicated that the Cowboys and Schultz would make another run at finding agreement on a long-term contract extension ahead of Friday’s deadline to do so, but it looks like they’ll have a a lot of work to do in a short period of time. Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News reports that the two sides have made no progress toward a deal as they have not spoken to one another in weeks.

Diehards Line: That comes after Schultz skipped the final week of the team’s voluntary workouts this spring because of his frustration about the pace of talks on a deal. That didn’t spur any of the action he was looking for and the July 15 deadline may not be enough to force a change in stances on either side. Schultz is set to make a $10.9 million salary under the terms of the tag. Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki is also tagged and without momentum toward a new contract, but David Njoku and the Browns came to terms on a long-term deal with an average annual salary of more than $13 million after Njoku was tagged earlier this year.
