The Dallas Cowboys and CeeDee Lamb aren't making much progress on a new contract, but team owner Jerry Jones did have a message Sunday for the All-Pro wide receiver: "CeeDee, you're missed."
Speaking on the pregame show for the Cowboys' preseason opener against the Los Angeles Rams, Jones expounded on his comments last week that the team "doesn't have a sense of urgency" to get Lamb signed to a contract extension.
While acknowledging "the angst that's happening," as Lamb continues to accrue fines for missing training camp, Jones remained firm in his negotiating stance. "But you're not missed out here competing and it doesn't put any pressure any place on us."
Still playing on his rookie deal, the fifth-year veteran is seeking a new contract that would make him one of the NFL's highest-paid wide receivers. Several other wideouts have already signed lucrative deals this offseason ‒ with the Minnesota Vikings' Justin Jefferson topping out on a four-year, $140 million pact.
Lamb also skipped the team's voluntary offseason program and its mandatory June minicamp. He could face fines of nearly $1 million, though they can be rescinded at the team's discretion.
