CeeDee Lamb is not reporting to training camp while he waits for a new contract, a person familiar with the All-Pro wide receivers decision told The Associated Press on Wednesday, July 24, 2024.
The talking took on a different tenor Thursday, with Jones insisting he “doesn’t have any urgency” to resolve the dispute, and Lamb respondingThe 25-year-old Lamb is going into the final season of his rookie contract after being drafted 17th overall in 2020. He led the NFL in receptions last season and has topped 1,100 yards receiving in each of the past three season, setting a career high with 1,749 yards in 2023.
“I don’t have a sense of urgency about getting it done,” Jones said. “Put any reason you want. I was at Nobu two days ago. Give that as the reason. Whatever you want to put out there.” Jones reiterated his expectation that Lamb would be with the Cowboys for their season opener at Cleveland on Sept 8. When asked about the development of the receiving corps in camp given Lamb’s ongoing absence, Jones said “I don’t expect not to have CeeDee Lamb, but this camp has given time, opportunities” to other players.Following his press conference, Prescott said to reporters in a joking manner, “I know y’all want to ask, I got urgency for it to happen.”Copyright 2024 The Associated Press.
