In 2020, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dallas Cowboys</a> decided to bolster <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dak-prescott" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dak Prescott’s</a> offense with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ceedee-lamb" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CeeDee Lamb</a>. However, he has not had an impressive <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> career, and now a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a> champion has claimed that he shouldn’t even be considered as a WR1.



The Cowboys have a formidable roster with a potent offense and solid defense. They are viewed as genuine Super Bowl contenders this year but need to make several improvements to compete for the Vince Lombardi trophy.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231011#BUS#74102"></div>


Speaking of their offense, the Cowboys have a remarkable roster, with several weapons to help Dak Prescott achieve success. CeeDee Lamb is one of them, but he has not been able to be as dominant as the team thought he would be.



<h2>Richard Sherman thinks CeeDee Lamb is overrated</h2>



During his entire career, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/richard-sherman" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Richard Sherman</a> covered some of the best wide receivers the NFL has ever seen. He was an elite cornerback, so he is a recognized voice when it comes to analyzing wideouts and their talent.



Sherman has not completely retired, but he has not shown any interest in returning to the fields. Now, he’s a football analyst, and the Super Bowl XLVIII champion has now judged CeeDee Lamb’s gameplay with some very tough statements due to the poor performances he has had recently.



According to the All-Pro cornerback, CeeDee Lamb should not be considered as a WR1. Talking to the “Undisputed” show on Fox Sports, Sherman said that the former Oklahoma player doesn’t have the quality to be the main target for Dak Prescott on the field and that Dallas should relegate him to the WR2 spot.

Sherman also said that Amari Cooper’s departure should have never happened and that Dallas misses him a lot. As for CeeDee Lamb, the former cornerback added that he doesn’t have the same level as Stefon Diggs, Tyreek Hill, Terry McLaurin, A.J. Brown, Deebo Samuel, Davante Adams, and Justin Jefferson.



Additionally, the former Seattle Seahawks player named a list of players who are comparable to CeeDee Lamb, including Jaylen Waddle, Tee Higgins, Chris Godwin, Brandon Aiyuk, and Tyler Lockett.



As of today, CeeDee Lamb is still playing under his rookie contract. The Cowboys are interested in offering him a deal extension, but the wide receiver must have a remarkable 2023 NFL season in order to convince the team’s front office to keep him for more time.



<h2>What are CeeDee Lamb’s stats with the Dallas Cowboys?</h2>



CeeDee Lamb is playing his fourth NFL season as a member of the Dallas Cowboys. As of today, he has played 54 games with the Lone Star, with 287 receptions in 422 targets, 3,754 yards, and only 21 touchdowns. These are definitely not the best numbers for a WR1, but also not the worst.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231010#BUS#74040"></div>


Last season was his best so far. In 17 games played, the wide receiver had 107 receptions for 1,359 yards and nine touchdowns. This year he has had a rough start, which doesn’t help in his quest of securing a new long-term deal with the Cowboys.

In the history of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dallas Cowboys</a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dez-bryant" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dez Bryant</a> is regarded as one of the best offensive players the franchise has ever had. Now, he has shared a list of his Top 5 current wide receivers in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>, including some huge stars.



Dez Bryant entered the league as the 24th overall pick in the 2010 Draft. He had an amazing college career playing for Oklahoma, so the Cowboys didn’t doubt to pick him and sign an elite wide receiver.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230814#BUS#45954"></div>


Bryant played for three different quarterbacks in Dallas: Jon Kitna, Tony Romo and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dak-prescott" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dak Prescott</a>. However, it was with Romo when he had his best years, with three consecutive seasons with +1,200 receiving yards (2012-2014).



<h2>Dez Bryant shares his list of Top 5 current wide receivers</h2>



Dez Bryant played his final NFL season in 2020 with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Baltimore Ravens</a> after spending 8 years with the Cowboys. During his time with the Cowboys, he was Tony Romo’s primary partner throughout the quarterback’s career.



The three-time Pro Bowler has remained connected to the NFL. Having retired from his position as a wide receiver, he has recently shared his list of the top 5 current players in his former position. This list is likely to find agreement among many.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230816#BUS#47022"></div>


According to Bryant, these are the best wide receivers in the league right now (in that order): Justin Jefferson (<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-vikings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Vikings</a>), <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/davante-adams" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Davante Adams</a> (<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Raiders</a>), Ja’Marr Chase (<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bengals</a>), <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ceedee-lamb" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CeeDee Lamb</a> (Cowboys), and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/odell-beckham-jr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Odell Beckham Jr.</a> (Ravens).

It seems like the negotiations between the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dallas Cowboys</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ceedee-lamb" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CeeDee Lamb</a> have come to an end. Reports coming from Texans say that the NFC East team will extend a contract offer to the player, making him one of the highest-paid receivers in the entire <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>.



Back in 2020, the Cowboys used their first-round pick to give Dak Prescott a new weapon. CeeDee Lamb arrived to Dallas, and he quickly became one of the most reliable targets for the quarterback.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230504#CMS#0006"></div>


Three seasons later, Lamb is approaching to the end of his rookie contract. The Cowboys want to keep him for more seasons, and now they have made the first move to accomplish the mission.



<h2>Report: Cowboys prepare a lucrative contract offer for CeeDee Lamb</h2>



CeeDee Lamb has been with the Dallas Cowboys for only three seasons, yet he has already established himself as one of the premier players on the roster. The wide receiver swiftly emerged as an elite target for Dak Prescott, who was in dire need of a top-tier player in that position.



In his three-year tenure, Lamb has caught 260 passes out of 387 targets, with 3,396 yards and 20 touchdowns. Those numbers have really impressed the team’s front office, and that’s why they are already working to extend his contract.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230420#CMS#0036"></div>


According to Jon Machota of The Athletic, the Cowboys are preparing a huge offer for Lamb. This new contract would pay him between $25 and $30 million per year, making him one of the top-5 highest-paid receivers in the league.

CeeDee Lamb&nbsp;will be crucial in 2023 for the&nbsp;Cowboys if they want to make a&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-Playoffs-2023-When-was-Dallas-Cowboys-last-Super-Bowl-20230122-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a>&nbsp;run considering the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia Eagles</a>&nbsp;are favorites to win the NFC East with the best roster in football led by&nbsp;Jalen Hurts. 



Last season, the Cowboys had a 12-5 record and lost again in the playoffs facing the San Francisco 49ers. Jerry Jones’s team haven’t won a championship since 1996.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230304#CMS#0034"></div>




Even in this scenario, CeeDee Lamb hasn’t gotten a long-term deal. Though the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a> already picked his fifth-year option for 2024, it’s important to remember that a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-star-wide-receiver-would-come-out-of-retirement-to-play-with-aaron-rodgers-20230516-BUS-1373.html">star wide receiver</a> is still under his rookie contract. He could soon become a top free agent.



<h2>Dallas Cowboys: CeeDee Lamb talks about contract extension </h2>



Though an agreement is far from being reached, CeeDee Lamb guaranteed thousands of Cowboys’ fans that all his focus is on delivering a Super Bowl in the 2023 season. 







“That’s for my agent. I’m just trying to play. That’s what I’m here to do and that’s what I love to do. Quite honestly, I’ll be 100-percent honest, I’m not even distracted. The money, I’m definitely worried about it, but it’s not something that’s on my mind every day or when I come to the building.”



However, Lamb should be paying a lot of attention to the subject as he could become one of the best paid wide receivers in the league. For example, Tyreek Hill is at $30 million per year, Davante Adams gets $28 million and DeAndre Hopkins salary was $27 million before his release from the Cardinals. 


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230602#BUS#5727"></div>


Let’s say CeeDee Lamb might not be in that first tier, but, he is definitely a Top 10 WR in the NFL. That’s why his new contract could be massive. If he delivers in 2023, the number of suitors could go up creating a huge leverage problem for the Cowboys. “I’m not thinking about how much money I’m gonna make if I do this. It’s really all about coming in, showing my worth, and letting everything else handle itself.”

CeeDee Lamb has been <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dak-prescott" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dak Prescott’s</a> best friend since his arrival in 2020. Despite being an elite wide receiver, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dallas Cowboys</a> have refused to give him a juicy contract extension ahead of the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a> campaign.
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. 
<div class="ck-related-news"> 
<div id="relatedNews-14"> </div>
</div>
 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. 
<h2>Cowboys exercise CeeDee Lamb’s 5th-year option: What does this mean for the WR?</h2>
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.
Since then, Lamb has been the best wide receiver in the roster. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-rumors-dak-prescott-makes-a-bold-remark-about-ceedee-lamb-20220322-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dak Prescott has surrendered multiple times to his talent</a>, but it seems like the team still needs to see more from him.
Lamb’s rookie contract runs until the end of the 2023 campaign. However, he has a fifth-year option on it, and according tothe Dallas Morning News, the Cowboys will exercise it. 
<div class="ck-related-news"> 
<div id="relatedNews-17"> </div>
</div>
 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.
