Can't be doing this CeeDee. Fans will frown upon this & it will come back to haunt you!


Leaf CEO Brian Gray shared a statement on Twitter.
“Leaf has filed the first ever lawsuit against an athlete in order to compel the completion of an autograph contract so customers holding redemptions are not forced to take replacements,” Gray wrote. “We hate doing this, but customers need defending here.”

Lamb apparently signed some items but not enough to fulfill the contract after the Cowboys made Lamb the 17th overall choice in 2020. The company is seeking damages and attorney fees. In the filing, Leaf asks the court to serve Lamb with the suit at his home or the Cowboys’ offices in Frisco, where Lamb is expected to take part in organized team activities this week.

I would love to hear CeeDee's side of the story. I mean what does it take to sit down and sign a bunch of trading cards? And if it is about money, come on, man! You will have years to make more money. If you signed a contract, honor it.

On the other hand, if he is concerned about profiteer off his name he is not alone. Some famous athletes will not sign anything for adults, who are usually the ones profiteering. They only sign for kids - who are probably paid by adults to go get the autographs! But still, a contract is a contract.

Its a trading card company he has little to no control over who gets his card. But you are right it is a contract.

What does it take to put your uniform on correctly? Didn't stop him from not doing it and getting fined repeatedly. Like Cooper said, he must not like money.

He'll end up having to pay the damages. I don't see any other way out of it.

So, carpal tunnel is connected to dropping the football? Hmmm.... I really hope CeeDee is successful in fixing his drops...
