Dallas Cowboys and star WR CeeDee Lamb agree to multi-year deal

The Dallas Cowboys and star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb have agreed to a multi-year deal, the team announced Monday. It is a four-year, $136 million contract, according to ESPN and NFL Network.
The deal makes Lamb, a three-time Pro Bowler, the second highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. The agreement includes $100 million in guaranteed money.
Lamb held out for all of training camp as well as the Cowboys’ three preseason games in hopes of securing a new contract. He was entering the fifth-year option of the rookie deal he signed in 2017. Lamb was the 17th pick in the first round of that year’s draft. He is now under contract through 2028.
The agreement ends what at times seemed to be a contentious negotiation between the two sides. Dallas owner and president Jerry Jones said earlier in August he felt “no urgency” to get a deal done with Lamb, prompting the receiver to respond on X with an “lol.”
Lamb has been incredibly productive for the Cowboys, appearing in every single game over the last four years. In 2023, he posted career bests with 135 receptions for 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns — the former two also being team records. In the Dallas’s lone postseason game last season, he caught nine passes for 110 yards.
In his career, Lamb has 395 receptions for 5,145 yards and 32 touchdowns.
The Cowboys will now seemingly turn their attention toward working on a new contract with quarterback Dak Prescott. While Lamb is locked up, the person throwing him the ball is not. Prescott is entering the final year of his contract and is ineligible to be franchise tagged, which means he could hit the open market as a free agent if the two sides don’t agree to a deal.
Dallas opens its regular season on Sept. 8 against the Cleveland Browns.

DALLAS – Los Angeles Chargers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh praised players for staying calm after being trapped in a Downtown Dallas hotel elevator.
The players were rescued by Dallas firefighters late Friday at the Westin on Main Street.
Those players, including starting quarterback Justin Hebert, spent two hours trapped inside.
The Chargers head coach was not in the elevator but saw the players after they got out.
“It was hot. As each person was coming off the elevator, everyone was sweating, and some had their shirt off,” Coach Harbaugh said. “That’s a shared experience. I mean, it brought them closer together. I just missed it being on that elevator, and I was like, wish I could have been there with those guys.”
The team said the players had to be pulled through a ceiling panel and moved to an adjacent elevator.
Dallas Fire-Rescue’s Urban Search and Rescue team used the working elevator as a ferry to move people in small groups.
The Chargers were in town for a preseason matchup against the Cowboys on Saturday.
They won 26-19 after Cowboys quarterback Trey Lance threw five interceptions.

Stars of the Netflix docuseries America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Charly Barby and Kelly Villares celebrated their first game as official squad members after they didn’t make the team last season.
Charly, 23, shared a short video via TikTok on Saturday, August 24, of herself and Kelly on a bus with the rest of the cheer team heading to their first-ever game, where Dallas faced off against the Los Angeles Chargers at AT&T Stadium. The two cheerleaders starred in the first season of America’s Sweethearts, which chronicled the cheer team’s 2023-2024 season from auditions all the way to the end of the NFL season.
“COMING TO YOU LIVE BUSSIN TO OUR FIRST GAME 🥹🥹🥹💙💙💙⭐️⭐️⭐️🏈🏈🏈 #dallascowboyscheerleaders #americassweethearts,” Charly captioned her video, which showed her and Kelly cheering with two yellow roses, set to the song “If I Was a Cowboy” by Miranda Lambert.
Kelly and Charly, who had been the final person cut the previous season, made the 2024-2025 team alongside Reece Allman and Anna Kate Sunvold, along with 10 other rookies and 24 veterans.
Charly shared the news that she had made the 2024-2025 squad via Instagram on July 24. “I AM A DALLAS COWBOYS CHEERLEADER,” she captioned her post. “💙Wow. I have never worked harder for something in my life.”

She added, “I genuinely feel that from the bottom of my heart. This has been the most rewarding, life-changing & amazing challenge I have ever put my all into.”
Continuing her post, Charly explained that “becoming a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader has been the furthest thing from easy, but the best thing I’ve ever encountered.”
“This dream has meant everything to me for so long and achieving it has been the first & last thought on my mind every day for years,” she wrote. “I would never change being cut last year for the world. It has brought me so many blessings and has made making the team this year the most rewarding experience I’ve ever had.”
Kelly, who became a fan favorite during the first season of America’s Sweethearts, announced that she had made the Dallas Cowboys cheer squad on July 25 via Instagram. “I’m not sure if I’ll ever be able to process the fact that my lifelong dream has come true,” she wrote. The New Jersey native notoriously dyed her hair from blonde to brunette for the show’s makeover episode, but was cut from the team anyway.
“It is an absolute honor and privilege to dance alongside such amazing women and to be a part of such an incredible organization,” she wrote last month. “Grateful is an understatement.”
