The Dallas Cowboys have failed their fanbase.
They were either unable or unwilling to make any big move, and they failed to keep their best players happy as well.
It’s hard to explain why they allowed the situation with CeeDee Lamb to escalate to this point.
He was by far their best offensive player — and arguably their best player overall — last season.
Now, they will most likely have to pay him more than what they would’ve had to pay him if they had done the deal in a timely matter.
According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, Jerry Jones will have to spend big bucks to get him.
In the latest edition of her podcast with Chase Daniel, the renowned insider revealed that Lamb would get the deal he’s looking for, which is pretty much the same deal that Justin Jefferson got.
Breathe, Cowboys fans.@DMRussini believes CeeDee Lamb’s situation will be sorted out.
But is Lamb worth Justin Jefferson-type money?

Jefferson became the highest paid wide receiver in NFL history, signing a four-year extension worth a whopping $140 million.
Lamb has held out of training camp as a means of pressure to get this contract, and the Cowboys can’t afford to have him missing these valuable reps.
The Cowboys aren’t a better team now than the team that they were last season, and that should be a major concern for their fans.
Lamb is clearly disgruntled with this situation and some think he could try to force his way out of the organization, as there simply was no need to get to this point if they intended to pay him anyway.
