    CeeDee Lamb is finally home. After a long and tedious hold-out, the Dallas Cowboys wide receiver agreed to a new contract extension just before the start of the season. Lamb will continue to suit up for the Stars this season.

    However, there are some concerns about Lamb's return to the team. In particular, Cowboys fans are worried about whether Lamb will be a full go for Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns.

    Lamb allayed those fears in a recent media appearance. The Cowboys star reassured fans that he's ready to take on a regular workload in the season opener.

    “Yes, bro," Lamb said when asked about whether he can play 60 or more snaps against Cleveland, per Jon Machota. "No question. I’ll be ready.”

    With Lamb and the Cowboys initially disagreeing on a contract extension, the star wide receiver decided to skip their preseason activities. It was a huge cloud that hung over Dallas' heads during the preseason.

    Thankfully, Lamb and owner Jerry Jones figured out the terms of a new contract. Lamb signed a four-year, $136 million deal to stay with the Cowboys. That makes him the second-highest-paid non-QB, just behind Justin Jefferson.

    Considering Lamb's talents, that's a pretty reasonable price. You could make the argument that the Cowboys star is the second-best WR in the league right now. Last season, he put up 1,749 yards, just behind Tyreek Hill, with 12 touchdowns.
