BREAKING NEWS: Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb Agrees to 4-Year, $52 Million Extension with Guarantees

Dallas, TX — The Dallas Cowboys have officially locked in one of their brightest young stars, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, to a 4-year, $52 million contract extension, league sources confirmed late Saturday.

The new deal, which includes a guarantee of $35 million, ensures the Pro Bowl wideout remains in Dallas through the 2029 NFL season, cementing his status as a long-term centerpiece of the Cowboys’ high-powered offense.

A Star Locked In

CeeDee Lamb, 25, has rapidly emerged as one of the NFL’s premier receivers since being drafted 17th overall in 2020. Known for his route running, explosiveness, and ability to make contested catches, Lamb recorded 107 receptions for 1,356 yards and 10 touchdowns in the 2024 season — all career highs.

His performance earned him back-to-back Pro Bowl nods and placed him firmly among the league’s elite.

“I’ve dreamed of moments like this since I was a kid,” Lamb said in a statement. “Dallas is home now. I’m honored to keep building something special with this organization and the fans.”

Cowboys’ Commitment

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones expressed his satisfaction with the deal, calling Lamb “the kind of player who defines the star on the helmet.”

“CeeDee is more than just a playmaker,” Jones said. “He’s a leader, a tone-setter, and one of the hardest workers in our building. We’re thrilled to have him locked in for the future.”

The contract makes Lamb one of the top-paid receivers in the league, though still slightly behind recent extensions for Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase. Analysts say the deal strikes a balance between team flexibility and rewarding Lamb’s value.

Impact on Cowboys’ Offense

With quarterback Dak Prescott still under contract and fellow weapons like Tony Pollard and Jake Ferguson continuing to develop, the Cowboys now boast one of the league’s most stable offensive cores.

Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer reacted positively to the news, saying:

“Having CeeDee in this system for the next four years lets us dream big. He’s a nightmare for defenses and a dream for play-callers.”

Lamb’s Journey

A standout at the University of Oklahoma, Lamb entered the NFL with big expectations and has exceeded them. Through four seasons, he’s racked up:

• 348 receptions

• 4,728 receiving yards

• 32 touchdowns

He’s also gained a reputation for clutch performances and jaw-dropping highlight reels, often energizing both the team and the fanbase.

What’s Next?

With Lamb’s deal done, speculation now turns to the Cowboys’ next major decisions — including long-term contracts for Prescott and key defensive stars like Micah Parsons.

But for now, Dallas has taken care of business, securing one of its most electric playmakers and ensuring that CeeDee Lamb will remain the face of their receiving corps for years to come.
