NFL News: Cowboys refuse to give WR CeeDee Lamb a juicy contract extension
CeeDee Lamb was the best wide receiver of the Dallas Cowboys last year. However, the NFC East squad is refusing to give him a juicy contract extension this year.

In 2022, CeeDee Lamb proved everybody his value. The wide receiver had 1,359 yards in 107 receptions with nine touchdowns. It has been his best season so far, but it seems like the Cowboys still have some doubts with him.
Lamb entered the NFL in 2020 as the
17th-overall pick
. He's entering his
fourth year of contract, but now the Cowboys are making some moves regarding his situation,
avoiding to give him a long-term deal this 2023
.
Cowboys exercise CeeDee Lamb's 5th-year option: What does this mean for the WR?
Back in 2020, Dak Prescott asked the Cowboys to draft a wide receiver. The team's front office responded and picked CeeDee Lamb with the 17th-overall selection.
Lamb's rookie contract runs until the end of the 2023 campaign. However, he has a fifth-year option on it, and according to the Dallas Morning News, the Cowboys will exercise it.
This means that
Lamb will make a fully-guaranteed $17.9 million in 2024
. However, rumors say that once the 2023 season ends, the Cowboys will see how to offer him a long-term deal.
