Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb squashes silly concern from fanbase following recent reports

The Dallas Cowboys' offseason took a much-anticipated hit on Monday when reports emerged on wide receiver CeeDee Lamb appearing certain to follow precedent and skip voluntary workouts beginning next week.

Lamb, who is entering a contract year after a remarkable start to his career which includes a first-team All-Pro campaign in 2023, is negotiating a deal that could make him the top paid receiver in the NFL.

As the front office also navigates negotiations with Dak Prescott and Micah Parsons, Lamb might have to use his leverage and skip the voluntary phase of the offseason. The Cowboys report on April 15th and it sounds like No. 88 won't be there.

While that in itself isn't a big deal (first two weeks of the offseason is all about meetings, strength and conditioning, and physical rehabilitation), the fear is that it'll snowball into a holdout that could go as deep as training camp.

Lamb was recently spotted by TMZ at a CSA sports memorabilia event in Chantilly, Virginia, and was approached by a reporter about his preparation ahead of the 2024 season.

"I'm relaxing, chilling," Lamb said on a short interview before responding to what he's looking forward most next season: "Winning, looking forward to winning out there with my guys and making another run at this thing."
