Insider Shares CeeDee Lamb's Next Move as Contract Dispute With Cowboys Heats Up

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is ready to sit out during training camp if he doesn't have a new contract from the team, an insider revealed.

Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reported that the 25-year-old receiver wants a pay raise but there has been little in the way of meaningful progress toward a new deal.

"There’s been little progress on extensions for Prescott and Lamb this summer," Watkins wrote. "For the second consecutive year, there’s a possibility a key starter will hold out of training camp. Lamb missed the entire offseason program and is expected to miss training camp if he doesn’t get a new deal."

Lamb is set to earn close to $18 million in the coming season after the team exercised the fifth-year option on his contract. Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports noted that with  top receivers scoring major deals across the NFL, Lamb would likely be in line for a significant raise.

"He could conceivably command at least $30 million per year on a new deal, with three other pass catchers -- the Minnesota Vikings' Justin Jefferson($35 million), Philadelphia Eagles' A.J. Brown ($32 million) and Detroit Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown ($30 million) -- eclipsing that mark," Benjamin wrote.

There is still close to three weeks remaining for Lamb and the Cowboys to find common ground on a new deal, with the team set to open training camp on July 24.
