Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has been making waves on social media recently.
On Monday, he issued a stern warning to the media ahead of his youth football camp starting Tuesday in Round Rock, TX, cautioning against questions about his contract negotiations.
Lamb’s social media activity surged this month after a long hiatus since March. Notably, he engaged in a public exchange with former Dallas receiver Cole Beasley, who criticized Lamb’s offseason workout regimen. Lamb has been absent from the Cowboys’ offseason workouts, negotiating for a new contract.
Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer suggested that the negotiations between Lamb and the Cowboys could become particularly contentious. Breer pointed out that Lamb, now in a contract year, is essential to the Cowboys’ future plans, regardless of the team’s direction at quarterback. He noted that Lamb might be the first among key players, including Micah Parsons, to secure an extension.
The Cowboys’ playoff hopes rest heavily on Lamb’s presence. Despite positive injury updates on quarterback Dak Prescott, sports bettors remain skeptical about the team winning even ten games this season. The media spotlight on Lamb’s contract situation is intense, reflecting his importance to the team’s success.
Brandon Loree reported that Lamb is scheduled to host three football camps this month and suggested that Lamb might address his contract situation if media were present. However, Lamb swiftly responded to Loree’s post, asserting that he would not entertain any media questions regarding his contract negotiations. Instead, he emphasized that his focus at the camps is on the kids and giving back to the community.
Lamb’s firm stance on keeping contract discussions private underscores the potential volatility of his negotiations with the Cowboys. As the situation unfolds, it will be crucial to monitor how it impacts the team and Lamb’s future in Dallas.
