Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb remains in a contract standoff with the team, holding out from training camp as he seeks a deal comparable to Justin Jefferson's four-year, $140 million contract. Despite Lamb's absence and cryptic social media posts, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones remains optimistic about reaching an agreement before the season opener. Lamb, who led the league with 135 catches and 1,749 yards last season, is crucial to the Cowboys' offense, and his absence has caused significant concern within the organization. Jones has emphasized patience and expressed confidence in both the team's depth and Lamb's eventual return, although negotiations continue without a clear resolution in sight. The situation echoes past high-stakes contract negotiations for the Cowboys, adding to the drama as the season approaches.
