CD Lamb's Contract and the Cowboys' Strategy

CD Lamb's recent contract agreement with the Dallas Cowboys, valued at four years and $136 million, highlights both his significance to the team and their strategy regarding player retention. This deal positions Lamb just below Justin Jefferson as one of the highest-paid non-quarterbacks in the NFL, reflecting his performance over the last two seasons where he ranks second in receiving yards. The Cowboys faced criticism for delaying negotiations, which some speculate could have saved them money if they had acted earlier. As they potentially lose other key players in the future, retaining a talent like Lamb seems not only logical but crucial for maintaining team strength.
