The Dallas Cowboys made a splash in August, signing CeeDee Lamb to a massive four-year, $136 million deal to solidify their receiving corps. As the new No. 1 receiver for the Cowboys, Lamb is set to play a pivotal role in their offensive game plan moving forward.
However, despite the success of Lamb’s signing, the Cowboys have shown no interest in pursuing another high-priced star receiver. Reports circulating about the Cowboys reaching out to the Las Vegas Raiders for Davante Adams have been debunked by Pro Football Talk, putting an end to the speculation.
Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones addressed the rumors in an interview with San Antonio Sports Star, firmly stating, “No, I don’t think there is anything to that. We just signed our No. 1 guy, and [Adams] is a No. 1 receiver. When you have the challenges cap-wise that we have, that would be a long putt for us.”
Jones highlighted the financial constraints the team is currently navigating, with the recent extensions of Dak Prescott and now CeeDee Lamb taking up a significant portion of the team’s salary cap. With star edge rusher Micah Parsons set to be in line for an extension after this season, the Cowboys are being strategic with their finances to ensure long-term success.
As the Cowboys look ahead to the upcoming season, they are focused on building a cohesive and competitive team that can contend for a championship. By making savvy financial decisions and prioritizing their key players, the Cowboys are setting themselves up for success both now and in the future.
