In a major development, CeeDee Lamb has just signed a groundbreaking four-year contract extension worth $136 million with the Dallas Cowboys. This deal makes him the second-highest paid non-quarterback in NFL history.

Record-Breaking Contract

At 25 years old, Lamb will receive an impressive $100 million in guaranteed money and will be set to become a free agent in 2028. His new contract also includes a $38 million signing bonus, which is the largest ever given to a wide receiver.

The only contract surpassing Lamb’s is Justin Jefferson’s four-year, $140 million deal with the Minnesota Vikings. According to ESPN, Lamb’s agent, Tony Dandy, played a key role in negotiating this lucrative extension with the Cowboys.

Preseason Drama

Lamb stirred up some concern among fans by skipping the Cowboys’ usual preseason training camp in Oxford, California. He made it clear that he wanted to settle his contract situation before stepping onto the field. Under his previous rookie deal, he would have played this season under a $17.99 million fifth-year option.

Impressive Performance and Career Stats

Lamb’s performance in 2023 was outstanding, earning him All-Pro first-team honors and setting franchise records with 135 receptions, 1,749 yards, and 12 touchdowns. Since being drafted 17th overall by the Cowboys in 2020, Lamb has racked up 395 catches for 5,145 yards and 32 touchdowns across 66 games (61 starts).

Future Contract Negotiations

Looking ahead, the Cowboys are also working on restructuring contracts for star pass rusher Micah Parsons and quarterback Dak Prescott. Prescott could be in line for a significant payday, whether with Dallas or another team, with potential offers exceeding $50 million per year if his current contract expires after this season.
