The long talks between Cowboys and CeeDee Lamb have come to fruition with both parties getting what they wanted. For the foreseeable future, CeeDee Lamb will remain a Cowboy as they have agreed to a contract extension.
The Dallas Cowboys made the announcement of the same on Monday afternoon.
Here is the tweet.
Dallas is re-signing Lamb for a four-year extension worth $136 million. According to CBSSports, NFL insider Jonathan Jones confirmed this development.
The 25-year-old has now become the second highest-paid quarterback when it comes to his contract’s average per year total of $34 million. In this deal, he is guaranteed $100 million and a $38 million signing bonus. This is the largest ever for a Wide Receiver. He is second only to Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson with a $35 million average per year total. He signed a deal worth a $140 million contract on June 3 this year.
“I think CeeDee’s one of the best players in the NFL,” Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said on April 23 at Dallas’ pre-draft press conference. “I think he’s very instrumental because of his position to quarterback success, personally. I think if you look at complementary football, he does it all there for you. He’s multifaceted in where we can line him up, the type things we can use him for. He’s dedicated to his practice and he’s sound physically. That puts him really right there at the top as far as a player. I’m trying to answer your question. I guess the answer is without saying anymore, I think he’s one of the top players in the NFL.”
