Cowboys QB Dak Prescott chimes in on CeeDee Lamb's apparent jab at Jerry Jones

Oh, boy. Everything is bigger in Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott chimes in on CeeDee Lamb's apparent jab at Jerry Jones, including the drama around the city's NFL team.

Following Thursday's joint practice with the Los Angeles Rams, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and owner Jerry Jones stole the spotlight from the players on the field with an interesting sequence of events.

First, Lamb published a cryptic message on X which simply read "8/8." It was his first post on the app since July 8th. Moments later, Jerry Jones told reporters the sides were making progress but controversially told reporters after practice "I don’t have any urgency to get (a new deal with Lamb) done."

That's when things blew up, as Lamb quickly quoted the tweet from The Athletic's Jon Machota with three letters: "lol."

The outside world took it as face value: Lamb sent a jab at the Cowboys owner while laughing at his quote about having no urgency to get him signed while the All-Pro wide receiver remains a holdout from training camp. For what it's worth, star edge rusher Micah Parsons retweeted Lamb's post.

Dak Prescott chimes in on social media drama

Naturally, the Cowboys quarterback who's also seeking a contract extension faced questions on the entire thing after practice. Prescott was shown Lamb's tweet, per Patrik Walker from DallasCowboys.com and immediately stated before a chuckle: "I got urgency, I definitely got urgency."

Per Walker, Prescott was later explained that Jones did say they were "getting great work" with Lamb and "not losing a step" in negotiations, to which Prescott responded: "Oh, OK well, (tweet him back) and tell him (we're) on his side. You'll get your money."

Prescott and Lamb are in similar yet different positions, as the quarterback's future deal (in Dallas or elsewhere) is set to be unprecedented as a player at the highest-paid position in the game with a golden ticket to 2025 free agency.

Lamb, in contrast, will likely sign a deal almost identical to that of Justin Jefferson from the Minnesota Vikings. Because of this and the overall size of the potential contract as well as potential franchise tags the Cowboys could use down the road, there's much higher optimism around a potential extension for Lamb than there is for Dak.
