Cowboys give CeeDee Lamb, Dak Prescott new contract offers
Executive vice president Stephen Jones said Saturday the Cowboys sent a new offer to receiver CeeDee Lamb’s representation Friday. The team also recently sent a new offer to Dak Prescott’s agent.
Talks are progressing for both players, and the Cowboys seem optimistic they can get both signed by the start of the regular season.
“Right now, I would characterize both conversations as upbeat,” Jones said. “We’re having good talks back and forth with both Todd [France] and Tory [Dandy]. I like where we stand.”
France, Prescott’s agent, is in talks with the Cowboys about a third contract for the quarterback. It took two years for Prescott to get his second contract, a four-year, $160 million deal that expires at the end of this season.
Prescott has all the leverage, with no-trade and no-tag clauses, so he is in control of whether he becomes a free agent in March.
“We’re talking. Make no mistake about it. We’re talking,” Owner Jerry Jones said Saturday.
Lamb, whose agent is Dandy, is not participating in training camp as he seeks a raise on the $17.9 million he is scheduled to make on his fifth-year option.

Sucks complete ass in key situations, empty stats, team underperformed over and over in the playoffs. Yeah... [Reply]

I think he could win if he took less so they could get him more help but that is not his priority- he’s a very good player - but I’ve never seen him elevate the players around him which is something I look for at that salary. [Reply]
Jerry loves Dak and won’t let him walk. That’s just how he is, loyal to a fault. The other part of it is Jerry really wants another SB ring and event though Dak isn’t that guy there isn’t anyone left. As much as this is poor management by the Cowboys you gotta give Dak credit for waiting it out to get his bag. Might become the highest paid QB in the league by default. [Reply]
