Description:
Mandatory minicamp got underway at The Star in Frisco Texas for the Dallas Cowboys and CeeDee Lamb was not in attendance due to contract issues with the front office. Lamb is going into his fifth year with the Cowboys and he is waiting for his new contract that Jerry Jones and the Cowboys have yet to give him. <br/><br/>Lamb is coming off his best season yet, setting records in AT&T Stadium with 1,749 yards, the most of any Cowboys receiver since Michael Irvin. He had 135 receptions and 12 touchdowns in 2024. <br/><br/>In his career with the Cowboys Lamb has added up 395 receptions for 5,145 yards and 32 touchdowns. <br/><br/>Lamb did not come to day one of minicamp, it’s looking like he will miss the entirety of camp. Lamb will be fined each day for not showing up. For missing Monday he will be fined$16,953. He will be fined $33,908 for Wednesday and $50,855 if minicamp extends to a third day. In total if he misses all three days he will be fined $101,716. <br/><br/>$101,716 might sound like a lot to most Americans but when you’re fighting for $35 million a year, it’s not much in the eyes of Lamb. <br/><br/>The day prior to Minicamp starting Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson got signed to a four-year $140 million contract with $110 guaranteed. This contract gives Jefferson $35 million a year, and with Lamb easily the same caliber of player one could argue Lamb deserves the same or more. <br/><br/>His presence was definitely missed at minicamp and a lot of his teammates spoke highly of him post workout. RG Zack Martin was in a similar situation last season, he missed the first portion of training camp due to contract issues. He told us after minicamp on Monday that it’s part of the business, he said what is going on is between Lamb and the front office. He said he is not worried about his teammate and knows that Lamb has been working out and getting ready for the season, just not at the facility. <br/><br/>“I can’t think of anyone more deserving. I think he is the best receiver in the league.” Teammate Micah Parsons stated after minicamp day one. <br/><br/>Minicamp will continue on Wednesday and conclude on Thursday afternoon.
