Cowboys, CeeDee Lamb Agree to 4-Year, $136M Deal


And so ends one of the league’s two highest-profile wide receiver holdouts, with Lamb agreeing to a contract that falls just short of Justin Jefferson’s in total value but one that still makes him the league’s second-highest paid non-quarterback. Lamb had seen his ADP start to slip over the past few weeks as kickoff to the regular season approached without a contract being agreed upon, but that drop is likely to be corrected in the coming days as the All-Pro wideout is locked into elite volume in the Cowboys pass-heavy offense. With the threat of Lamb missing time this season due to a holdout officially evaporated, the fantasy prospects of QB Dak Prescott are officially back on track, as well. While it remains to be seen whether or not the time away from the team will affect Lamb’s ability to hit the ground running in terms of his connection with Prescott, Lamb can safely be started as a high-end WR1 option week in and week out, including on kickoff weekend in Dallas’ opener against the Browns in Cleveland. With Lamb’s situation resolved, all eyes are now on the 49ers and WR Brandon Aiyuk as they work towards their own resolution in what’s been an even more dramatic and long-standing drama between the two parties.
