CeeDee Lamb tries to become the highest paid wide receiver in NFL History. The big problem is that Jerry Jones also has to deliver a massive paycheck to Daniel Prescott.
As a result, negotiations have stalled and Lamb has taken a first step to put pressure on the team’s management by not showing up for training camp. Jones, however, appears to be in no hurry.
If the Dallas Cowboys want to win Super Bowlthey have to keep their core group of stars in the near future. Although in practice Prescott, Lamb and Michael Parsons for the 2024 season, all of these players want to see the money.
Will the Dallas Cowboys give CeeDee Lamb a contract extension?
According to a report by Mike Garafolo Dallas Cowboys made a new offer to CeeDee Lamb. It’s a big contract worth about $33 million a year to convince the wide receiver.
Still, Garafolo said, that is not a yardstick that satisfies Lamb. He wants to be the highest-paid player in his position. In that scenario, the figure would have to be at least $35 million per year, considering Justin Jefferson signed a four-year, $140 million contract with the Minnesota Vikings. Final answer.

“You saw reports that the Cowboys and CeeDee Lamb met a few days ago to work this out. It didn’t happen (new contract signed). My understanding is the offer is around $33 million and for Lamb, that’s not good enough. The highest bid is $35 million with Justin Jefferson. So he wants that to come up and the structure needs to be worked on as well. Cash flow and guarantees.”
Will CeeDee Lamb become a free agent?
NO. CeeDee Lamb is under contract for the 2024 season, as part of the final year of his rookie contract. Then, in 2025, the Dallas Cowboys have the opportunity to use a franchise tag on the wide receiver. This is a big reason why Jerry Jones is not under pressure.
