CeeDee Lamb, the star wideout from the Dallas Cowboys, is now set for the future with a lucrative contract extension worth a whopping $136 million over four years. This deal, which includes a record-breaking $38 million signing bonus and $100 million guaranteed, solidifies Lamb’s position as one of the highest-paid wide receivers in the NFL.
After a phenomenal season in 2023, where Lamb set single-season records for the Cowboys with 135 catches and 1,749 receiving yards, the young Pro Bowler is on a trajectory towards greatness. With 395 catches for 5,145 yards and 32 touchdowns in his four-year career so far, Lamb has already made a significant impact in the league.
Despite a bit of drama surrounding negotiations and mixed messages from team owner Jerry Jones this summer, Lamb’s extension finally came to fruition. The excitement around the office was palpable, with coach Mike McCarthy expressing enthusiasm about having Lamb back in the fold.
“Lamb’s return is a significant boost for our offense,” McCarthy said. “We have a prime opportunity now to integrate him back into practice and get him ready for the upcoming season.”
The structure of Lamb’s contract is also noteworthy, as it mirrors quarterback Dak Prescott’s deal in terms of length. This allows Lamb the flexibility to renegotiate sooner if his performance continues to soar. With an annual salary of $34 million, Lamb is now among the highest-paid wide receivers in the league, behind only Justin Jefferson.
As Lamb prepares to return to the field after an offseason spent working out in Houston, the Cowboys are hoping that his presence will elevate the team to new heights. With their star wideout locked in for the future, Dallas is poised to make a strong push towards playoff success in the upcoming season.
