All throughout the Cowboys’ offseason, training camp, and preseason, their star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has been absent. While his teammates practice in California, Lamb has stayed back in Texas to do training on his own as he awaits a new contract from his team.
Negotiations have gone nowhere fast, with the latest offer being said to have been around $33 million, which is still below the All-Pro’s expectations.
CeeDee’s cryptic Instagram Story
All throughout this saga, eyes have been on Lamb’s social media as we all look for hints. While Jerry Jones and co. are reassuring fans that talks are ongoing and they’re “optimistic” about a deal, comments Jones has made about not feeling the sense of urgency and CeeDee’s responses have been causing a bit of panic.
When Jones made the comment about the lack of urgency to get a deal done, CeeDee responded by posting “lol” on his X account. He then proceeded to remove all associations with the Dallas Cowboys from his social media, causing a real stir. Jones went on to clarify that he only meant that Lamb would not have participated in the preseason games and let him know that he is indeed missed.
Since then, the Cowboys have said they “remain optimistic”, but reports are that the deal is still nowhere near done. Today, Lamb posted a photo to Instagram that fans immediately started to dissect – a photo of Tobey Maguire’s Spiderman.
