Cowboys news: Contract talks continue, team will pick up CeeDee Lamb’s 5th-year option at deadline

As free agency slows, Dallas turns their attention to home-grown talent.

This is where the contract situation of receiver CeeDee Lamb needs to come into focus. ... as a deadline nears.

He’s entering the final year of his rookie contract that will see him earn “just” the $2.5 million in base salary, and a decision needs to be made whether to sign him long-term now or exercise his fifth-year option.

And CowboysSI.com has been told that Dallas is both considering ramping up talks - a source called them “ongoing’’ - and is locking into that fifth-year option plan.
