The Dallas Cowboys and superstar wide receiver CeeDee Lamb have been involved in contract negotiations this offseason as he is heading into the final year of his contract. But those contract negotiations are not going all that well, and it sounds like he’ll be holding out from training camp as a result.
According to a report from NFL insider Adam Schefter of ESPN, CeeDee Lamb is not expected to report to training camp with the rest of the team this week as he holds out during their contract negotiations.
“Sources: Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb, who has been unable to land the type of contract extension that other wide receivers have, is not expected to report to training camp Wednesday with the rest of his team. Lamb is entering the last year of a deal scheduled to pay him $17.99 million this season,” Schefter said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.

Obviously, this is a pretty brutal decision for the Cowboys as the team will now have to prepare for the upcoming season without one of their most integral players.
Last season, Lamb led the entire league in receptions with 135 and finished second in the league in receiving yards with 1,749.
Clearly, Lamb is one of the most dominant players in the league, so it will be a big loss for the Cowboys as they prepare for the season.
