FRISCO, Texas — The game of cat and mouse between Dallas Cowboys 2023 All-Pro wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and the Cowboys front office (Jerry and Stephen Jones) concluded with both sides’ desired end game: Lamb remaining a Cowboy for the foreseeable future. 

Dallas re-signed Lamb, who will be 25 years old entering the 2024 season — his fifth year in the NFL — to a four-year extension worth $136 million on Monday, per ESPN. He now becomes the NFL’s second-highest-paid non-quarterback when it comes to his contract’s average-per-year total of $34 million. He trails only the $35 million APY set by Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson, the 2022 NFL Offensive Player of the Year, who signed a four-year, $140 million contract on June 3. 

“I think CeeDee’s one of the best players in the NFL,” Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said April 23 at Dallas’ pre-draft press conference. “I think he’s very instrumental because of his position to quarterback success, personally. I think if you look at complementary football, he does it all there for you. He’s multifaceted in where we can line him up, the type things we can use him for. He’s dedicated in his practice and he’s sound physically. That puts him really right there at the top as far as a player. I’m trying to answer your question. I guess the answer is without saying anymore, I think he’s one of the top players in the NFL.”
