A contract extension is due for three of the Dallas Cowboys’ true players, and things have grown serious with one of them.
CeeDee Lamb, a wide receiver, did not show up for practice on Tuesday. It appears like he is waiting to make a deal, so there is a possibility that the Cowboys will trade him rather than pay him.
The Kansas City Chiefs are the overwhelming favorites to land him, according to BetOnline, so if he is dealt, he might finish up with one of the top Super Bowl contenders.
The two teams with the second-highest odds to win Lamb are the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Detroit Lions, the reigning NFC North champions.
He led the league in receptions, was second in the NFL in receiving yards and touchdowns, and was selected to the All-Pro First Team for the first time in 2023. He also made his third consecutive Pro Bowl.
The Cowboys have a lot of star power, but they also have some obvious flaws in their squad.
They are extremely poor at running back and lack a reliable WR2 threat beyond Lamb. If they were to move Lamb, they might suffer a major setback; in fact, some might argue they would not even be in the playoffs without Lamb.
The Cowboys as they currently exist may be coming to an end because quarterback Dak Prescott and pass rusher Micah Parsons both require contract extensions.
