Exciting news out of Dallas as CeeDee Lamb secures his future with the Cowboys in a record-setting deal! After weeks of negotiations, the star wide receiver inked a four-year, $136 million contract with a jaw-dropping $36 million signing bonus, solidifying his place as one of the highest-paid players in the league.
Jerry Jones, the Cowboys owner, was not in a hurry to finalize the deal during training camp in California but made sure it was signed before the start of the regular season. It’s a testament to Lamb’s talent and work ethic that he has reached this milestone in his young career.
The 25-year-old receiver had an impressive season last year, leading the NFL in targets, receptions, and finishing second in receiving yards and touchdowns. His consistent improvement over the past four seasons has elevated him to the top tier of wide receivers in the league.

Despite the initial uncertainty, Lamb’s teammates and coaches have full confidence in his abilities and work ethic. His quarterback, Dak Prescott, praised Lamb’s talent and dedication, highlighting their strong connection on and off the field.
