2. Adam Shaheen, TE, Miami Dolphins

Now that Dalton Schultz is trying to make a stand during his contract negotiations – one that is pretty pointless seeing as how he’s already signed his franchise tag earlier this offseason – the Cowboys could and should make a move to bring in a veteran tight end. Adam Shaheen can come in and provide veteran leadership for the younger players while also giving the team another receiving option in the passing game.

The Dolphin has been a good receiver when given the chance during his time in the NFL. One thing he can do a lot better than Schultz is holding his blocks when asked to in the running game.

Adding a tight end that can do both is something the Cowboys need and have missed since Jason Witten left. Shaheen would also show the Cowboys that they don’t need to continue this back and forth with Schultz. Instead, they can show they are willing to move on and potentially upgrade the position at the same time.
