Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones recently made comments indicating that he does not feel any rush to negotiate a contract extension with star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. However, Lamb seemed to find humor in Jones’ remarks, responding with a simple “lol” to a post about the situation.
Lamb is currently in the final year of his rookie contract and has been holding out in hopes of securing an extension. Despite this uncertainty, he had an impressive season last year, leading the NFL with 135 receptions for 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns, which earned him All-Pro honors. Over the past three seasons, Lamb has consistently surpassed 1,100 receiving yards and 100 receptions each year, with an average of nine touchdowns per season.
While some of his fellow wide receivers have recently signed lucrative contract extensions with their teams, including Justin Jefferson, A.J. Brown, and Amon-Ra St. Brown, Lamb is still waiting for his future with the Cowboys to be solidified. He is not alone in seeking a new deal, as quarterback Dak Prescott and linebacker Micah Parsons are also in negotiations for contract extensions.
Prescott, a three-time Pro Bowler, is in the final year of a four-year, $160 million deal, but talks of a new contract are not expected to be finalized before the 2024 regular season. Parsons, a two-time All-Pro linebacker entering his fourth NFL season, is now eligible for an extension as well.
As the Cowboys navigate these contract negotiations, Lamb remains focused on his performance on the field. Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future with the team, he continues to showcase his skills and talent, proving why he is a valuable asset to the Dallas Cowboys. Fans will have to wait and see how the negotiations unfold and whether Lamb will secure a long-term extension with the team he has excelled with since entering the league.
