With no rush for a new deal due to his reluctance, CeeDee Lamb offers the perfect response to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones: ‘lol’

Contract negotiations between the Dallas Cowboys and star player CeeDee Lamb do not appear to be going well.

In fact, things spilled over to social media on Thursday afternoon after a quote from Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones caught Lamb’s attention. While it was taken somewhat out of context, Lamb is clearly not happy about it.

He even went so far as to subsequently delete “America’s Team” from his biography.

Lamb has sat out training camp this summer as he works to hammer out a new long-term deal with the Cowboys. He’s entering the final year of his rookie contract with a $17.9 million fifth-year option. By comparison, Minnesota Vikings star Justin Jefferson reset the market with a new four-year, $140 million contract earlier this summer.

Lamb is coming off a career season with the Cowboys last year, where he collected 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns on 135 catches. He also helped Dallas reach the playoffs for the third straight season, although they were eliminated in the wild card round.

It is unclear how far the two sides have come in their negotiations, as the Cowboys play their first exhibition game this weekend. However, Lamb is still not participating in training camp in Oxnard, California.

Jokes was then asked if there is “a sense of urgency as pre-season starts to get something done” with Lamb.

“No,” he answered bluntly, to which Lamb objected. Jones was then asked why and, well, he gave an answer that only he could give and which really explained nothing.

While Jones may not be eager for the deal to go through, there is at least one Cowboys star — also awaiting a new contract — who is ready to welcome Lamb back.

“I know you guys want to ask, but I’m in a hurry to make it happen,” quarterback Dak Prescott said Thursday.

When Lambs’ deal will be completed is still the question.
