Finally, the saga came to a happy ending between the Dallas Cowboys and star WR CeeDee Lamb. Jerry Jones reached an agreement with one of the top players, ensuring that Lamb’s presence in Dallas will continue for several more years.
Lamb had remained absent from the main roster led by Mike McCarthy due to unresolved contractual issues. The WR had made it clear on several occasions that he would not return to training camp until his contract situation was resolved.
The Cowboys’ preseason ultimately ended on a sour note, and perhaps having their key players available could have changed the outcome. In their first game, they lost 13-12 to the Los Angeles Rams. Their second outing was a 27-12 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, but they closed the preseason with another loss, this time 26-19 against the Chargers.

The inability of head coach Mike McCarthy and his staff to have all their stars available limited their ability to explore all options leading up to the Week 1 NFL debut. Both CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott, two of the most important players on the roster, did not see the field as much as the coach would have liked.

What happened finally with CeeDee Lamb?
According to ESPN, the Dallas Cowboys and CeeDee Lamb reached an agreement today on a record-breaking four-year, $136 million deal, making him the second highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. The contract includes a $38 million signing bonus, the largest ever awarded to a wide receiver.
