The Dallas Cowboys and star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb have agreed to a four-year, $136 million contract extension that includes a $38 million signing bonus, the largest ever given out to a wide receiver. ESPN first reported the news.
Lamb’s new contract is worth an average annual value of $34 million, making it the second-highest AAV for a non-quarterback in NFL history behind the $35 million per year deal that Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson — who like Lamb was a first-round pick in 2020 — signed earlier this offseason.
Lamb is coming off a career year. He led the league in receptions (135) and was second in receiving yards (1,749), breaking Hall of Famer Michael Irvin’s single-season Cowboys record in the latter category. He was also third in the NFL in receiving touchdowns (12).
