With rumors suggesting a long-term contract extension in the range of $30 million APY, Lamb has every reason to view himself as a top-tier talent.
However, his priority remains on winning and supporting his quarterback, Dak Prescott.
Lamb is currently in the final year of his existing deal and set to make $17.99 million. While the Dallas News suggests that he may not participate in voluntary workouts without a contract extension, it is unclear whether this is confirmed.
The Cowboys typically act when there is a deadline or ultimatum, and Lamb does not appear ready to make any negative declarations about his future with the team.
Lamb’s positive demeanor and relaxed attitude during his offseason travels indicate that he is not worried about his future with the Cowboys. He is looking forward to winning and making another run with his teammates.
Lamb was selected as a first-round pick by the Cowboys in 2020 and will enter the final year of his rookie deal in September.
The Cowboys also have high-priority extensions to negotiate with Prescott and linebacker Micah Parsons.
Parsons has expressed his willingness to wait for Lamb and Prescott to secure their extensions before finalizing his own.
Prescott has shown confidence in securing his extension and has even reworked his salary numbers to benefit the team’s salary cap.
The connection and chemistry between Prescott and Lamb make it likely that the Cowboys will actively work to secure both players for the long term.
Lamb had a standout season in 2023, setting career highs in various categories. His performance and attitude demonstrate his determination to become one of the greatest of all time to wear a Cowboys uniform.
Fans reacted as follows.
Hard to take his word for it. Players say one thing, then situations change.

No pressure to be there, @_CeeDeeThree. I’m sure Dak will thrive without you.

He said he'll be in Dallas not Arlington. So he could be in the next city and not play! 😂

He doesn’t have a choice unless he doesn’t want to get paid and will earn nothing toward being a free agent. Will he hold out again in 2025? 😂click bait
