Dallas Cowboys’ star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has decided to hold out of the team’s training camp in hopes of securing a new contract extension. Lamb, who is set to earn $17.99 million in 2024, is entering the final year of the rookie contract he signed after being drafted by the Cowboys in 2020. Known as Dak Prescott’s top target in the team’s passing game, Lamb has established himself as one of the best all-around wide receivers in football.
The news of Lamb’s holdout has had an impact on the Cowboys’ Super Bowl odds, particularly at one sportsbook. Just a week ago, the Cowboys were listed at +1600 to win the Super Bowl on Fanduel Sportsbook. However, following Lamb’s decision to hold out, Dallas’s odds have dropped to +1800, now tied for the ninth-shortest odds with the Packers and Jets.
Many are wondering how CeeDee Lamb’s holdout will affect the Cowboys as they head into the upcoming season. Sports commentator Colin Cowherd shared his thoughts on the matter, expressing concern for the team’s future. Cowherd warned that the Cowboys may be on the brink of a slow decline, partly due to their inability to take advantage of a weak NFC in previous years. He highlighted the tough schedule ahead for Dallas and suggested that Lamb’s holdout could lead to a top-heavy roster.
Despite the concerns raised by Cowherd, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones appears unfazed by the situation. The team will now have to navigate a competitive NFC, facing off against talented rosters from teams like San Francisco, Detroit, Philadelphia, Green Bay, Los Angeles, and Chicago.
As the Cowboys continue to deal with the fallout of CeeDee Lamb’s holdout, fans and analysts alike will be keeping a close eye on how the situation unfolds.
