CeeDee Lamb Separates From 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk in Taking the Silent Approach

Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and San Francisco 49ers wideout Brandon Aiyuk are coming off career-best seasons, yet both find themselves in contract limbo.

Entering their fifth year, both players want to bypass their current agreement and receive a big payday that would place their salary value among the NFL's elite pass catchers.

Each is contractually tied to his team for the upcoming season under a team-exercised fifth-year option. Aiyuk and Lamb skipped their respective teams' mandatory mini-camps, subjecting them to over $100,000 in fines.

Aiyuk has been vocal on social media, expressing his dissatisfaction with the state of negotiations and feeling disrespected. In contrast, Lamb, has taken a silent approach.

Lamb will host his annual youth football camps in Texas on July 9, 10, and 20. However, don't expect any grandstanding.

"It's all about the kids and giving back to the community," Lamb said. When pressed on the matter, Lamb took to Twitter earlier today to clarify that he won't entertain contract questions.

"I'm not speaking about contract negotiations. You'll get zero answers. It's all about the kids," Lamb said.
