The first NFL regular season game of 2024 will take place in less than two weeks.
Fans of the Dallas Cowboys are keeping a close eye on the clock in hopes that their two most vital offensive players will receive new contracts.
Dak Prescott is expected to become a free agency at the end of this season, but Jerry Jones and the Cowboys front office don’t seem to be under any pressure to finalize a contract before the season begins in September.
After 2024, CeeDee Lamb will likewise be a free agent, and he might be the final piece to fall in order to complete a deal with Prescott. However, it’s getting harder the longer Jones waits.
Ja’Marr Chase getting paid could make Lamb even richer
Ja’Marr Chase, the top receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals, is a major factor in this. If Chase doesn’t sign a large contract deal before Week 1, he has threatened to sit out the entire season.
