OXNARD, Calif. (AP) — Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has always insisted that contract negotiations are ongoing with CeeDee Lamb as the wide receiver's holdout continues.
The talking took on a different tenor Thursday, with Jones insisting he “doesn’t have any urgency” to resolve the dispute, and Lamb responding by posting “lol.” on social media 10 minutes later.
The post on X marked Lamb’s first public response to the situation since training camp started.
The 25-year-old Lamb is going into the final season of his rookie contract after being drafted 17th overall in 2020. He led the NFL in receptions last season and has topped 1,100 yards receiving in each of the past three season, setting a career high with 1,749 yards in 2023.
