Dallas Cowboys: Major Offensive Contributor Has Words of Encouragement for CeeDee Lamb
Dallas Cowboys: Major Offensive Contributor Has Words of Encouragement for CeeDee Lamb
In order to get ready for their first preseason
game of the 2024 NFL regular season, the Dallas
Cowboys are now in the midst of training camp.
Naturally, though, the squad’s contract disputes
with its three top players take up much of the
press around the team rather than their
preparations. Dak Prescott, the quarterback, is in
camp even though this is his last year on the
deal. Since he and the Cowboys are unable to
reach a contract extension, there is conjecture
that this may be his last season in Dallas. The
team that signs the three-time Pro Bowl
quarterback in 2025—the Cowboys or another
team—will probably offer the highest-paying
contract in NFL history. Micah Parsons, a
linebacker, is included in in camp even though
he is locked into contract negotiations with
Dallas as well. He is seeking a deal that would
make him one of the highest-paid defensive
players in the NFL. While both Prescott and
Parsons are both present and participating in
training camp, their other biggest star, wide
receiver CeeDee Lamb, is not.
Dallas Cowboys Star CeeDee Lamb Wants to Be the Among the NFL’s Highest-Paid Wide Receivers
The Minnesota Vikings named Justin Jefferson
the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history
earlier this offseason. Lamb’s fellow first-round
pick in 2020 agreed to a four-year, $140 million
deal extension, which translates to a $35 million
average pay annually. Stephen Jones, the
Cowboys’ COO, disclosed a few weeks ago that
Lamb and Parsons share the desire to be the
highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL without a
contract. That amount is now Jefferson’s $35
million yearly paycheck from the Vikings. Dallas
will undoubtedly find it extremely challenging to
pay Prescott, Lamb, and Parsons in full. Having
said that, Lamb makes a stronger case than
Jefferson for payment. Their statistics since
joining the NFL are listed below:
CeeDee Lamb | Justin Jefferson | |
Receptions | 395 | 392 |
Receiving Yards | 5,145 | 5,899 |
Touchdowns | 32 | 30 |
As one can see, the two are very close in
receptions and touchdowns, though Jefferson
does have over 700 more receiving yards than
Lamb, and that was with him missing seven
games last season. Still, Lamb believes that he
deserves to make money that will rival that of
Jefferson. And his teammates support him.
Dallas Cowboys Wide Receiver Brandin Cooks Shares Encouragement for CeeDee Lamb
The Dallas Morning News reports that Lamb
stays in close communication with fellow
Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks. The
second-best wide receiver in Dallas informed
reporters: “We communicate frequently. It’s
crucial, in my opinion, to let him know that his
teammates are considering him. But also, just
having a conversation with him and seeing how
he’s doing—I know there’s a lot going on there—
without necessarily talking about football. Cooks
is not the only Cowboys player who has recently
expressed support for Lamb. Lamb is supported
in navigating his contract discussions by the
locker room, according to statements made to
reporters by Ezekiel Elliott and Prescott.
