CeeDee Lamb agrees to massive extension with Cowboys: Report originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
CeeDee Lamb isn’t going anywhere.
The star wide receiver signed a four-year, $136 million contract extension with the Dallas Cowboys, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Monday. The deal, which reportedly includes $100 million guaranteed and a $38 million signing bonus, makes him the second-highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.
ESPN Sources: Cowboys and All-Pro WR CeeDee Lamb reached agreement today on a record four-year, $136 million deal that now makes him the second highest-paid non-QB in NFL history. The deal includes a $38 million signing bonus, the largest ever given to a wide receiver.

Lamb, 25, has been away from the Cowboys since OTAs. Jerry Jones had insisted earlier this month that he didn’t “have any urgency” to get an extension done, while Lamb showed his displeasure on social media.
Now, Lamb is the second-highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL, trailing only Vikings star Justin Jefferson, who cashed in with a four-year, $140 million extension earlier this offseason.
The Cowboys drafted Lamb with the 17th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, and he has already earned three All-Pro nods. He had his best season yet in 2023, earning a first-team All-Pro selection after hauling in an NFL-leading 135 receptions for 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns.
With Monday’s contract extension, Lamb is now under contract through the 2028 season. He will play the 2024 campaign on his fifth-year option, which will pay him just under $18 million.
Lamb was one of three key Cowboys players whose contract situations were up in the air. Quarterback Dak Prescott remains unsigned beyond the 2024 season, while the team picked up linebacker Micah Parsons’ fifth-year option to keep him on the team through 2025.
