2024 NFL odds: Cowboys SB odds fall after Cee Dee Lamb holds out of training camp
Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is holding out of the team’s training camp, as he seeks a new contract extension.
Lamb is slated to earn $17.99 million in 2024. He enters the final year of the rookie contract he signed after becoming the Cowboys‘ first-round pick in 2020. He has since established himself as Dak Prescott’s main target in the team’s passing game and one of the best all-around wideouts in football.
The recent Cee Dee news has affected the Cowboys Super Bowl odds.
Just a week ago, the Dallas Cowboys were +1600 to win the Super Bowl, according to Fanduel Sportsbook.
Now, Dallas’s SB odds have dropped to +1800. They are now tied for the ninth-shortest odds with the Packers and Jets.
How will Ceedee Lamb holding out impact the Cowboys? | The Herd
Ceedee Lamb is not expected to report to Dallas Cowboys training camp due to ongoing contract negotiations. Colin Cowherd discusses what the holdout means for Dallas.
On Wednesday’s edition of The Herd, Colin Cowherd gave a major warning to the Cowboys after hearing the news about Lamb.
“I think this season marks the slow, steady decline of the Cowboys,” Cowherd said.
“You thought you’d seen the worst of it? They are going to, and it will start with Cee Dee Lamb’s contract, get absurdly top-heavy. That’s why they couldn’t spend any money in free agency.”
Colin emphasizes how Dallas failed to capitalize on their window of success.
“The NFC was weak and wide open for several years, and they could not take advantage of it,” he explained.
“The schedule is now tough, they are going to get absurdly top-heavy, Cee Dee Lamb is probably going to win this holdout, their draft was graded as average, and they did not spend a nickel in free agency.
“This, for me, marks a slow, steady decline for Dak’s big money years and I presume he’ll sign a four-year deal in the Patrick Mahomes range.”
Dallas will now have to compete in a brutal NFC that features the very talented rosters of San Francisco, Detroit and Philadelphia, along with the up-and-coming Packers, Rams and Bears.
