Lamb reportedly believes the $33 million per year offer is too low

[TheMarathonContinues]

He's phat, gained 15lbs. Give him 32 million and not a dollar more.

Why not? Might as well spend it lol.

Seems just like yesterday the top WR was getting $20 million a year. Crazy how the cap has gone up the last 5 years.

Streaming platforms and legal gambling are a major financial boom for the NFL.

 

[Rockport]

is it really doing all of this for a few extra million dollars? How bad is it going to really hurt them?

You guys are something else.

 

[AbeBeta]

He's already been offered a deal that is a mega payday..this is now about his ego

This comment suggests that you really do not understand NFL contracts.

We've got info on the APY offered. We don't have information on the guarantees. We don't even know if it is a legit 33 APY or a contract with huge numbers in the last year to beef up the APY (with that money, of course, not guaranteed).

Team wanted this information out so that ignorant and lazy fans would get upset with Lamb. Don't believe the hype and don't become the target audience for this sort of nonsense.

Greed goes both ways. The nfl is making record revenue so players want their fair share

I would prefer instead of record deals for a few positions , a lot can be done for vet minimums , player safety tech, health care coverage for retired players who cant afford etc.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

C’mon Jerry, you can’t have your star WR having to take a second job in the offseason just to make ends meet. Not a good look for you. SMDH

 

[MarcusRock]

That's because it is too low. $34M and change is what'll do it.

Oh ok, well I'm sorry to hear how they did you man. That's pretty terrible. Believe me I had my own frustrations with our union and it wasn't until we got the right people in that I saw merit in their actions. Hope you found something better afterwards.

 

[zerofill]

Well to be honest, they pay checks for playing a game are out of control.

But, if you let Lamb go... Chief's will probably take him and pass the Patriots lol.
Since I just watched Mahomes do a behind the back pass lol.

nobody cares about any of that lol . (sad isnt it?) Just give it all to a few diva stars!

Lamb should now change his demand to 45 mil ! all G , and a no trade clause like dak lol, jerry will pay eventually.

Jerry is a "Caveman" lol

Lamb caught almost half the passes thrown to him in the GB game, gotta reward play like that !

 

[zekecowboy]

How can this man be expected to pay bills on such a meager salary?

LOL, he is doing it for his brotherhood. What a load of crop.

I would agree but I also look at it from a players perspective. They have 8-10 years they can make huge money. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity that I get why they don’t pass it up. I think the fact we’ve drug it out also complicates things. I bet 33 would have got it done at seasons end before the other deals. I think it’s gonna take 34 and a similar structure to Jefferson’s deal now which is 88 mil at signing That’s why you go first instead of last if you are an owner

 

[conner01]

Please don't pull that bogus short career argument.

It’s just a fact

 

[conner01]

It should’ve been done sooner, but Jerry continues to operate under deadlines make deals.

This offer may well have worked if he had gone first instead of last. Jerry worried about setting the market but what got was the market set by Jefferson. And now it’s gonna take a deal close to Jefferson to get it done. In the 34 range and 100 mil total guanteed

Jerry keeps wanting to wait for the leaves to fall. It may take Jeffersons deal to get it done. Their numbers are comparable.

 

[Kingofholland]

We have no idea about the contract structure itself or guarantees but 33 a year seems pretty competitive. Jefferson has been outstanding since he's come into the league so would price Ceedee's contract a little lower. What's amazing is this contract probably would have been accepted earlier in the year before the Jefferson deal.

Bottom line the Cowboys need to get their top contracts done earlier. They're afraid to reset the market, but end up letting another team do it and then end up paying more in the end.

 

[FVSTONE]

And the structure of the contract is a problem!

Tuff Titty said the kitty when the milk went dry. Deliver a couple of NFCCs or one lousy SB and you can write your own contract.

It's not though.

Hold out for $40 million per year even if your out for the whole year!!!!
