As it stands, the Dallas Cowboys and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb haven’t reached an agreement on the latter’s contract. If things go south, thouh, the Detroit Lions can swoop in and acquire the NFL star in an interesting trade idea.
Jones acknowledged that he got in “trouble” for saying the team was not “urgent” about getting Lamb’s deal done, but clarified that it’s not about undervaluing the player.
Detroit has both the cap space and a certain role for Lamb to thrive in. If Dallas messes things up with the superstar wide receiver, expect the Lions to keep an eye on the situation and make the most of it if needed.
Rather, the Cowboys want to be cautious about exposing key starters like Lamb to injury risk during preseason practices. Jones emphasized that Lamb’s contract situation is not putting any “pressure” on the team, and they plan to extend an offer in the coming days to finalize the deal before the 2024 season.
