On Thursday evening, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones dropped a bombshell while speaking with the media.
Jones said he doesn’t feel any urgency when it comes to contract negotiations with the team’s star receiver, CeeDee Lamb.
Those words have sent the NFL world into a whirlwind in the past 12 hours. Now, there are takes that Lamb would prefer not to play in Dallas any longer.
“Don’t be surprised at some point, if this thing continues, if you see CeeDee Lamb come out with a trade request.”
On First Take on Friday morning, Courtney Cronin of ESPN didn’t hold back her emotions while talking about the situation.

Cronin feels that Jones is unknowingly driving one of his most gifted players out of the organization and that the decisions being made by the organization are not being made by football people.
Lamb’s trade request would place the team in a precarious situation just before the season began. But all of this seems like it might have been prevented. The plan was for the 2024 season to be a full team effort with everyone playing at the same level.
It seems like the front office and the athletes are reading different books these days. Fans of the Cowboys are left feeling let down by the powers that be since the contract disputes should never have progressed this far.
