Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is holding out of training camp as he seeks a contract extension, according to an ESPN report on Tuesday.
Lamb, slated to earn $17.99 million in 2024, is entering the final year of the rookie contract he signed after becoming the Cowboys’ first-round pick in 2020. He has since established himself as quarterback Dak Prescott’s main target in the team’s passing game and one of the best all-around wideouts in the entire NFL. In 2023-24, Lamb broke Hall of Famer Michael Irvin’s single-season records for most receptions and receiving yards in franchise history, finishing with 135 catches and 1,749 yards, which also led all NFL players last season.
The Cowboys are in a precarious position with both Prescott and Lamb entering the final year of their respective contracts this coming season and a likely extension for star linebacker/defensive end Micah Parsons, the team’s 2021 first-round pick, also looming in the near future.

Lamb is a three-time Pro Bowler and two-time All Pro, including making first team All Pro last season.
