Breaking news: Amid a contract dispute, CeeDee Lamb sends a strong message to the Cowboys.

While he waits for a new contract, CeeDee Lamb is continuing to work hard. The standout receiver for the Dallas Cowboys said that although he waits to rejoin his teammates, he has been “grinding” in order to get ready for the season.

Throughout his protracted boycott, which has caused him to miss two preseason games and all of training camp, Lamb has been silent. He shared a video on social media on Friday, August 23, along with a statement regarding his circumstances.

Lamb stated in the video, “We grind until we get that call. Still waiting on it.” “Be the best version of myself and control what I can.”

With a salary of $35 million a season, wide receiver Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings is now the highest paid non-quarterback.

Cowboys and CeeDee Lamb’s Deal Is Not “Far Apart”
It’s been a wild ride negotiating with Lamb. As per Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News, the Cowboys and Lamb’s representatives had a phone meeting recently. Dallas made Lamb an offer of almost $33 million annually, but he demands more.

There are still undetermined elements of the arrangement, such as cash flow, guarantees, and duration. Adam Schefter of ESPN, however, believes the team is getting close to a deal.

On August 20, Schefter stated on “The Pat McAfee Show” that “I think the two sides aren’t that far apart on a deal.” “I don’t believe it should be that hard, but once more… This has not gone as planned because he is still not there and has not completed camp. According to what I hear, the two sides aren’t all that far apart, and CeeDee Lamb and others think that they will find a way to put their differences aside so that she can attend Week 1.

Lamb had a league-high 135 receptions for 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns at the end of the previous campaign.
