The Dallas Cowboys and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb agreed to a multi-year extension, the club announced Monday.
Lamb is signing a four-year, $136-million extension that places him second among the highest-paid non-quarterbacks in NFL history, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The $34-million average annual value trails only Minnesota Vikings superstar Justin Jefferson ($35 million) among non-quarterbacks, according to Over the Cap.
The deal also includes a $38-million signing bonus, per Schefter. It’s the largest signing bonus ever given to a wide receiver. The extension will pay Lamb $100 million guaranteed, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports.
Lamb held out of training camp in pursuit of a new deal. He didn’t play in the preseason and hasn’t been at the Cowboys’ facilities this summer.
The 25-year-old was one of the league’s top playmakers in 2023, tallying 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns on a league-best 135 receptions en route to first-team All-Pro honors and the third consecutive Pro Bowl nod of his career. He added 113 yards and two scores on 14 rushing attempts.
Lamb has totaled 395 receptions, 5,145 yards, and 32 touchdowns in 66 career games since being selected 17th overall in the 2020 draft.
