Dallas Cowboys Face Possible Extended Absence of Star WR
Article Title: Contract Uncertainty Adds to Dallas Cowboys' Offseason Woes
As the Dallas Cowboys gear up for what promises to be a pivotal offseason, the specter of impending contract negotiations looms large over key players. Among them, quarterback Dak Prescott, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, and pass-rusher Micah Parsons are central figures in the team's plans.
Prescott and Lamb are both approaching free agency after the upcoming season, while Parsons remains under team control until 2025. However, it's the uncertainty surrounding Lamb's contract situation that is currently casting a shadow over the Cowboys' preparations.
According to a report by Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News, there are indications that Lamb could be a no-show for the start of the Cowboys' offseason workouts on April 15. It's believed that Lamb is seeking a new contract, and unless the team offers a substantial deal, he may opt to hold out.
While details remain unclear, it's suggested that Lamb's representatives have been in discussions with the Cowboys' management. However, with no significant breakthrough yet, Lamb's attendance at the team's spring workouts remains uncertain.
As of now, Lamb is slated to play out the 2024 season on the fifth-year option of his rookie contract, which would command a salary of $17.99 million. Given his standout performance in the previous season, where he established himself as one of the NFL's premier wide receivers, Lamb's desire for a more lucrative deal is understandable.
The situation adds to the challenges facing the Cowboys this offseason, as they seek to solidify their roster and make key decisions regarding their star players' futures. With Lamb's contract saga unfolding, the team must navigate carefully to ensure that they retain one of their most dynamic offensive weapons for the long term.
