The drawn-out negotiations between former Sooner great [autotag]CeeDee Lamb[/autotag] and the Dallas Cowboys have come to an end. According to multiple reports from Ian Rapaport and Adam Schefter, Lamb has agreed to one of the biggest contracts for a non-quarterback in NFL history.
According to reports, Lamb has agreed to a four-year contract extension with the Cowboys that will pay him $136 million over the course of the contract. Lamb gets $100 million guaranteed, including $38 million on signing. Lamb was heading into the final year of his rookie deal in 2024.
Lamb’s $34 million average annual value (AAV) brings him in just behind Minnesota’s Justin Jefferson, who will make an average of $35 million a year on his deal signed this offseason, according to OverTheCap.com.
Lamb is going into his fifth season with the Dallas Cowboys after being taken with the No. 17 overall pick of the 2020 NFL draft. Since his rookie campaign, Lamb has increased his production every single season, culminating in an incredible 2023 season where he caught 135 passes on 181 targets for 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns. He also ran the ball 14 times for 114 yards and two touchdowns in an All-Pro and Pro Bowl season last year.
The Cowboys now have their top wide receiver and one of the best in the game locked up for the next five seasons as they hope to build off of last year’s playoff appearance.
