In the midst of ongoing negotiations, the Dallas Cowboys and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb are engaged in promising talks regarding a contract extension, according to owner and general manager Jerry Jones. While the precise details of these discussions remain uncertain, Jones expressed his belief that the parties will ultimately reach an agreement, as the Cowboys have made it clear that they want Lamb to remain with the team.

Although negotiations have been ongoing throughout training camp, no resolution has been reached as of yet. With the Cowboys' opening game against the Cleveland Browns just around the corner on September 18th, fans are eagerly awaiting news of a deal. When asked about his optimism, Jones cautiously stated, "Well, I think I am and when I say that, it doesn't sound too promising." However, he emphasized that the team's offer to Lamb reflects their strong desire for him to continue playing for the Cowboys.

Sources have revealed that the Cowboys have proposed a contract making Lamb the second-highest-paid wide receiver in the league, after Minnesota Vikings' Justin Jefferson who earns $35 million per season. Despite this generous offer, the gap between the two parties has yet to be bridged, creating a potential hurdle in the ongoing negotiations.

Undeterred by the length of Lamb's absence from training camp activities, Jones maintains that his level of concern has not increased. He assured fans and reporters that the team is in good shape and remains optimistic about the ongoing talks. Jones explained, "You say, 'Well, why do you keep talking? Why don't you do something?' Again, as in anything, it takes both of you there at the same time."

Additionally, Jones revealed that negotiations with quarterback Dak Prescott are also ongoing. While discussing the complexities of contract talks, Jones stressed that it is not uncommon for teams and players to engage in discussions even with time remaining on existing contracts. He acknowledged the importance of not letting these negotiations interfere with the team's preparation or impact their performance on opening day.

As the countdown to the regular season continues, Cowboys fans eagerly await news of an agreement between the team and CeeDee Lamb. While the negotiations have been ongoing, both sides remain committed to finding a resolution that satisfies all parties involved. Time will tell if these promising talks result in a successful contract extension for the talented wide receiver.
