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

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

The Packers-Cowboys Playoff Game tape from January says #88 isn't worth that kind of money.

That tape would say that about a lot of players.

 

[Surfguy]

Just increment by $.1 million until he accepts. Keep sending those offers in. $33.1 million, $33.2 million, etc. . How much is enough?

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Lance clearly doesn't need him.

So, keep playing hard ball, Jerry.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Oh I know, but Lamb has produced every year he's been in the league, not just his contract year

Wasn't even his contract year. You had one reciever, Hill, that could be put in his tier from 2023.

 

[ConstantReboot]

And the structure of the contract is a problem!

If I was the Cowboys, I will try and shop him around. Why not?

Jerry won't do it. He is too afraid of ruffling feathers.

 

[NoFurtherQuestions]

Lol one good year? The last two years he had over 100 catches.
For the 4 years, he averages 99 catches, 1286 yards, and 8tds. His rookie season is the only season he didn't have 1000 yards receiving or more

There is a pretty consistent theme going around here from some. Consistently try and downplay all our best players. Mock them for wanting what they are worth and act like they should all take massive hometown discounts because playing for Jerry and Dallas is such an honor. Blame their lack of playoff success all on them because the franchise has been wildly successful the previous 2 plus decades before any of them were here, right?

My favourite is we should just trade all our best players for a complete rebuild. A rebuild that will be undertaken by the same people who put together the current team. We will definitely get different results this time around,

Lol. I don’t know why people worry about this crap.

They have agents. it’ll get done and both parties will be happy.

Eventually. They have to get it done.

But our cap is a big problem.

Not a lot of room for a big signing bonus, even if it gets spread out.

That tape would say that about a lot of players.

Yes, even those not asking north of $33M/year.

 

[nightrain]

Dumbest fanbase in sports

Weakest and laziest analysis in sports.

 

[Sydla]

And the structure of the contract is a problem!

And this is why I believe the Cowboys leaked the 33MM per year thing. They want the public on their side.

But the devil is in the details - guaranteed money, per year cash flows, etc.

CeeDee was all pro first team for #1 receivers last year. He’s been very good since he came in the league each year for his experience level. It will be his first big contract and he should be entering his prime. In a few years it will be outdated. Considering all of these things, I don’t think it’s in the realm of greed for him to think it’s a little too low as far as “the market” is concerned.

 

[bigE79]

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

Exactly,at this point I'd do what the patriots used to do and trade his ***,player salaries are way outta control. After that packer game and seeing how he pretty much pouted the whole time,showed me all I need to know about his mental toughness,same goes for the whole team, mental midgets.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

It’s just a fact

Players will make more in one year than most of us will make in a lifetime.. so spare me the short career crap.

Lamb is NOT buying Cap Boys rhetoric....

Game 10 Season 2026
Pay to the Order of
Cedarian DeLeon Lamb eighty eight dollars 00/100 $88.00
See contract for team friendly Tyron Smith Clause

 

[Beast_from_East]

Today's players are all SUPER GREEDY!

It's all about THEM. To heck with the team.

All the players know by now that you play in Dallas to get paid, not win rings.

 

[1time4urMind]

This is the modern NFL.
Players earn a top 5 contract simply because their contract expired.
This is the way.

But, Lamb may actually be top 5, too.
I'd pay him more than Jefferson because that is the market the owners created. I'd ask him to take an extra year or two on the contract, though.

 

[America's Cowboy]

All the players know by now that you play in Dallas to get paid, not win rings.

Sad but true.

 

[VaqueroTD]

If CeeDee were holding out for say $35-$36 million, does It matter anymore with fines for not playing regular season?

This is not the 1993 Cowboys. Don’t let them start 0-2 because you took out the biggest playmaker on offense. Get it done Jones Clan!

 

[Hadenough]

Top 3 at his position! Pay him Jefferson money.

 

[JoeKing]

What a greedy guy. He's racked up a fine of over two million dollars. The Cowboys' offer was thirty-three million dollars plus forgive his fine. So that is equal to or greater than any receiver ever played. Missing the final preseason game will be another million-dollar fine. CeeDee, son you're going backwards.
