CeeDee Lamb finally got the contract he was looking for.
The All-Pro receiver, who is entering the final year of his rookie deal, signed a four-year, $136-million contract extension with the Dallas Cowboys, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Monday.
It is the second-richest deal for a non-QB in NFL history. It includes a $38-million signing bonus, the largest in history for a receiver, Schefter reports.
The deal also should signal the end of the receiver’s ongoing holdout. Lamb has not participated in any of the Cowboys’ off-season activities as he looked for a new deal.
The 25-year-old Lamb was drafted 17th overall in 2020 by the Cowboys. He led the NFL in receptions last season and has topped 1,100 yards receiving in each of the past three seasons, setting a career high with 1,749 yards in 2023.
Dallas is also reportedly still working on a new contract for quarterback Dak Prescott. The 31-year-old pivot is entering the final year of a four-year, $160-million deal he signed in 2021.
The Cowboys won the NFC East with a record of 12-5 last season. They were ousted by the Green Bay Packers in the Wild-Card round of the NFL playoffs.
Dallas will open the regular season against Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns on Sept. 8.
