Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb is not expected to report for the start of training camp on Wednesday, due to the lack of a long-term extension.
According to Ian Rapoport, Lamb and the Cowboys have worked on a new contract, but have yet to reach an agreement at this time. Lamb will now be an official holdout.
Lamb is subject to fines of $40,000 per day he’s away from the team.
It’s possible that the two parties will be able to get a deal in place in the coming days, given that Lamb appears to have been the team’s priority for an extension.
Lamb could push the top end of the market once all is said and done. It’s worth mentioning that the Cowboys have their franchise tag available next year if need be.
Lamb, 25, was a three-year starter at Oklahoma and was a consensus All-American before the Cowboys selected him with the No. 17 pick in 2020.
Lamb signed a four-year, $14,010,012 rookie contract that included a $7,749,100 signing bonus. The contract also included a fifth-year option for the 2024 season worth $17.991 million fully guaranteed, which the Cowboys decided to pick up.
He is currently set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2025.
In 2023, Lamb appeared in all 17 games for the Cowboys and caught 135 passes for 1,749 yards receiving and 12 touchdowns.
We have him included in our Top 100 – 2025 NFL Free Agents list.
