The owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones, and standout receiver CeeDee Lamb are currently at odds.
Although Lamb’s remarkable statistics demonstrate his significance—making him possibly the most important member of the Cowboys’ offense—Jones is taking his time to extend an offer to Lamb.
Jones argues that the postseason and heavy lifting throughout training camp are Lamb’s only options for justification for the delay. According to a comment, he is not in a rush to provide Lamb a “gift-wrapped contract.” Both fans and experts have criticized this, believing that Lamb should be given more credit for his achievements on the field.

Greg Jennings, a former NFL player, said, “Don’t tell me you love me, show me you love me,” on the program “First Things First.” This attitude sums up exactly what Lamb seems to be asking of the Cowboys’ administration.
“The fifth-year option was designed to give the team the ability to draft a guy in the first round to have the rights to him for that extra year at a wage that’s supposed to be comparable to what his peers are getting,” former NFL coach Eric Mangini said to the discussion.

However, the truth is that, generally speaking, very few players use the fifth-year option to finish their fifth year.”
Mangini supports Lamb’s fight
Lamb’s circumstances are not unusual, and Mangini brought up previous instances that might have an impact on Lamb’s talks. Given the uncertainties surrounding the fifth-year option, it makes sense that Lamb would want to hold out for a better offer.
He has, after all, repeatedly shown his mettle, and his numbers are comparable to the combined output of all other Cowboys players. Fans are curious to see how this turns out.
Will Jerry Jones finally sit down and give Lamb the deal he so richly deserves? Or will Lamb need to keep fighting to get the respect and money that come with his on-field achievements?
As things develop, it becomes evident that deeds speak louder than words, and Lamb has made indisputable contributions to the Cowboys. Will the Cowboys realize it before it’s too late is still an open issue.
