The Dallas Cowboys are always making headlines, and recently, owner Jerry Jones has stirred the pot with comments regarding star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb.
Latest Update: Cowboys Add CeeDee Lamb to Reserve/Did Not Report List
During a recent interview, Jones discussed the status of Lamb’s contract extension, downplaying any urgency for a deal. Lamb responded with a nonchalant “lol” on social media, prompting speculation about a possible trade if negotiations don’t progress.
However, Jones appeared to soften his stance, expressing that he misses Lamb on the field. “No one appreciates CeeDee being on the field more than I do,” he stated in an appearance on Countdown to Kickoff, as shared by Jori Epstein at Yahoo Sports. “… Now, I understand completely that angst that’s happening when you’re anxious about it. Well, CeeDee, you’re missed.”

Lamb’s recent decision to unfollow the Cowboys on social media only added fuel to the fire of trade rumors. However, Jones’s latest comments suggest he recognizes the importance of Lamb to the team.

This situation unfolds while the Cowboys are also navigating contract talks with quarterback Dak Prescott, with whispers that 2024 might be Prescott’s last year in Dallas given the current dynamics.
Jones has always been known for his strong opinions, but it’s essential for the Cowboys to handle this new generation of players carefully, as they wield more influence than ever before.
If Lamb opts to hold out for a better contract, it could significantly hinder the Cowboys’ prospects this season. The hope is for both sides to reach an agreement soon, as retaining a top-tier receiver like Lamb is crucial for Dallas’s success.
