Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb laughs off Jerry Jones no 'urgency' contract remark

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones expressed that he doesn't feel "any urgency" to get a contract extension done with star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb , according to The Athletic.

Well, the player that Jones was talking about found humor in the owner's honest remarks, with Lamb quoting a post about the comments on X with "lol."

Lamb is entering the final season of his rookie deal and has been holding out for an extension.

Last season, Lamb totaled an NFL -high 135 receptions for 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns, earning All-Pro honors. He has registered 1,100-plus receiving yards in each of the past three seasons and 100-plus receptions in each of the past two seasons, averaging nine touchdowns per season over that three-year span.

Several receivers have inked extensions with their respective teams this offseason. Most notably, Justin Jefferson signed a four-year, $140 million deal ($35 million average annual salary) with the Minnesota Vikings , making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL.

Elsewhere, A.J. Brown signed a three-year, $96 million deal ($32 million AAS) with the Philadelphia Eagles and Amon-Ra St. Brown signed a four-year, $120 million deal ($30 million AAS) with the Detroit Lions .

Lamb is one of three prominent Dallas players who are seeking new deals or poised to command one in the near future. Three-time Pro Bowler and quarterback Dak Prescott and linebacker and two-time All-Pro Micah Parsons are the other two Cowboy stars looking to ink new contracts.

Prescott is entering the final season of a four-year, $160 million deal, but the two sides are reportedly unlikely to agree to a new deal before the 2024 regular season. Entering his fourth NFL season, Parsons is now extension-eligible.
