Exciting news for Dallas Cowboys fans as All-Pro wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has officially ended his holdout by signing a lucrative $136 million, four-year contract. This development was confirmed by three sources familiar with the deal, as reported exclusively by The Associated Press.
Although the contract details have not been officially announced, the agreement marks a significant milestone for Lamb, who was drafted 17th overall in 2020 and is entering the final year of his rookie contract. Known for his exceptional performance on the field, Lamb led the NFL in receptions last season with 135 catches, ranked second in yards receiving with 1,749, and third in touchdown receptions with 12.
Lamb’s decision to end his holdout comes after skipping minicamp in June, a move that coincided with Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings signing a record-breaking contract as a non-quarterback. Lamb and Jefferson, who were selected just six picks apart in the 2020 first round, have been neck-and-neck in career statistics, with Lamb earning his first-team All-Pro honors in 2023.
