CeeDee Lamb has been fantastic for the Dallas Cowboys since coming into the league in 2020. Having played three years in the NFL, Lamb is eligible for a contract extension with America’s Team.
He had a fantastic season in 2022, taking over for Amari Cooper as the No. 1 wide receiver for Dak Prescott and the Dallas offense. The front office’s trust in Lamb was rewarded after they moved Cooper to the Browns for a late round pick.
And according to Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones, Lamb is in their long-term plans.
“Obviously, they’re in our plans long-term,” Jones told media members, echoing the sentiment he used in a Monday report when talking about the club needing a plan “to ultimately extend” quarterback Dak Prescott.
Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and cornerback Trevon Diggs are both now eligible for contract extensions. And Jones says both fourth-year players stand to be key components of the roster moving forward.
It is expected the Cowboys will go this route with last year’s 1,300-yard receiver. The fifth-year option- due by May 1- would bump Lamb’s salary up to just under $18 million in 2024. That’s a massive raise over what he’s getting now, but still below what the league’s top receivers are hauling in. – Todd Brock, Cowboys Wire
As he did in his final year in Norman, CeeDee Lamb became the focal point of the passing offense and was nearly unstoppable along the way. He’s increased his production each year he’s been in the league and has been the most reliable option for one of the NFL’s best offenses.
And if things go the way the Dallas Cowboys and CeeDee Lamb want them to, the former Sooner will be playing with a star on his helmet for years to come.
