Jerry Jones Discusses CeeDee Lamb Negotiations

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones reports 'promising talks' are ongoing regarding contract extensions for wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and quarterback Dak Prescott as the NFL season approaches. Lamb, who is holding out for a new deal, is seeking to be one of the highest-paid receivers in the league, with reports indicating the Cowboys have offered him just under $33 million annually, falling short of the $35 million earned by Justin Jefferson. Despite the lack of a breakthrough, Jones remains optimistic about reaching an agreement before the Cowboys' season opener against the Cleveland Browns on September 8. He emphasized that negotiations require cooperation from both sides and acknowledged that Lamb's absence is felt at camp. Additionally, Jones mentioned that they are also in discussions with Prescott, who is in the final year of his $160 million contract. The Cowboys are aiming to ensure these contract negotiations do not hinder team preparation for the upcoming season.
