FRISCO, Texas — Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb missed the start of mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, continuing the trend of him holding out of the team’s offseason program in search of a new deal as he is set to enter 2024 in the last season of his rookie contract.
After Minnesota Vikings All-Pro wide receiver Justin Jefferson, the 2022 NFL Offensive Player of the Year, reset the positional market with a four-year, $140 million deal that includes $110 million in guaranteed money, Lamb’s payday is near, at least in the mind of teammate Micah Parsons, a three-time All-Pro edge rusher.
“CeeDee is about to hit the Brink’s truck,” Parsons said at mandatory minicamp on Tuesday. “He is about to get his. I can’t think of someone more deserving. I think CeeDee is the best receiver in the league if you ever want to argue the top three. In my eyes, seeing his mindset and how he comes in every day. I think he deserves every penny. So I’m going to be super excited for him for whatever his contract lays out, but it’s going to be a nice contract for sure.”
