CeeDee Lamb Contract: Salary, Guaranteed Money

CeeDee Lamb led the NFL in 2023 with 135 catches. PFF graded him as the No. 6 wide receiver in the league, virtually tied with other top names like Justin Jefferson.

Dallas had several key contract situations up in the air as the Cowboys enter 2024, but it would have been difficult to let Lamb walk. He’s a major offensive component and a popular fantasy football player. The Dallas Cowboys’ odds market would take a hit if he left in free agency. 

That’s why the Cowboys front office went to the ATM in August and produced a major payday for Lamb.
