The Dallas Cowboys are gearing up for their first preseason game without star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. After a standout season last year, Lamb is holding out for a contract extension, joining the ranks of young players seeking fair compensation.
Lamb, who achieved a career-high 1,749 receiving yards in the previous season, has yet to make an appearance at Cowboys’ training camp in Oxnard, California. With just one year left on his current contract worth $17.99 million, Lamb is looking to secure a more lucrative deal.
The absence of the talented wide receiver has raised concerns among Cowboys fans and management. While team owner Jerry Jones expressed confidence that Lamb would eventually return, negotiations for a new contract have not yet been finalized.
As the preseason approaches, the spotlight is on players like Lamb, quarterback Dak Prescott, and linebacker Micah Parsons, all of whom are seeking contract extensions. The lack of progress in these negotiations has left fans frustrated, eager for resolution before the season kicks off.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his contract situation, Lamb remains focused on his game and is ready to make an impact once he returns to the field. Cowboys’ supporters are hopeful for a positive outcome as the team prepares for the upcoming season.
