The Cowboys quarterback explained why he doesn’t think his star wide receiver will leave Dallas
Aside from Dak Prescott, the Dallas Cowboys also had CeeDee Lamb as one of their star players throughout the entire season. By the end of it, the wide receiver completed the best season of his professional career with 135 receptions, 1,749 yards, and 12 touchdowns. This was more than enough to earn CeeDee the All-Pro honors. Needless to say, the Dallas Cowboys’ leadership are ecstatic for having such a complete player who can accompany Dak Prescott in this prolific part of his career. After last season, these Dallas Cowboys will return with even more hunger than last year and willing to leave everytyhing on the line. The off-season workouts started this week but CeeDee was nowhere to be seen.
According to his contract, CeeDee Lamb is set to become a free agent in 2025 and will make about $18 million for the final season on his contract. The Cowboys leadership is so happy with his recent performance that they want him to sign a new contract extension as soon as possible. Due to his soon-to-end contract, there have been reports that Lamb is looking for a new team to play in. However, quarterback Dak Prescott is feeling confident Lamb will remain a Cowboy. In questions asked by Pro Football Talk after practice this week, Dak said: “We’re roommates all of July, so if that’s the case, that’ll be fine. No worries. I know what he’s doing. I know how he’s preparing. All the confidence in the way he’s preparing and how he’s doing.”

Dallas Cowboys last season
It is worth keeping in mind that the Dallas Cowboys was one of the most impressive teams last season but they weren’t able to complete a great season after being eliminated in the Playoffs. They lost against the Green Bay Packers in the NFL Wild Card Round with a final 48-32 defeat. Prescott and CeeDee were having a fantastic season but they weren’t sharp during this round. If they want to keep this momentum going, players like Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb need to remain with the Dallas Cowboys. The entire fan base is expecting for the team to make an announcement on Lamb soon.

Dak Prescott’s upcoming season with the Cowboys
Another important point is the fact that Dak Prescott has a massive opportunity to finally take the next step in his evolution as a quarterback and lead his team to victory. Certainly, having CeeDee Lamb as his go-to receiver is quite helpful but he also needs to prove that he is the one who can make his teammates better and not the other way around. A quarterback needs to lead by example and always asume the pressure will be on him at all times. Amid the upcoming season, the Dallas Cowboys’ fan base is crossing fingers for it to finally be the year.
