Jerry Jones is running out of time to finish the controversy around Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb. With only two weeks remaining before the start of a new season, the owner has to increase the pace in both negotiations.

Prescott seems more willing to wait and become an unrestricted free agent in 2025. On the other side, Lamb was in a hurry as other wide receivers are getting huge paychecks in the NFL.

If the Dallas Cowboys want to make a Super Bowl run, two stars without a new deal could produce a lot of trouble and uncertainty inside the locker room. Jones might be ready to prevent that.

Will CeeDee Lamb become a free agent?

It’s important to emphasize that CeeDee Lamb had much less leverage than Dak Prescott. The wide receiver was entering the final year of his contract and Jerry Jones could put a franchise tag on him to keep him in 2025.

That’s why the tools for Lamb to pressure Jones have been missing training camp or hinting a possible desire to be traded. For example, that controversial photo on social media with Hollywood Brown who is currently playing for the Kansas City Chiefs.
