With none of Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb or Micah Parsons having been extended this offseason, questions remain regarding their respective Cowboys futures. Owner Jerry Jones addressed one of the team’s contract situations at practice on Thursday. 
“I don’t expect not to have CeeDee Lamb,” Jones said when asked about the record-breaking wideout’s regular season availability (via ESPN’s Lindsey Thiry). “I don’t have a sense of urgency about getting [an extension] done,” he added.
Lamb himself is among those who offered a quick reaction to Jones’ comments on social media. The All-Pro continues to engage in a training camp holdout while negotiations on an extension continue. Team and player have been in contact recently, although nothing appears to be imminent with respect to an agreement being reached. While too much could be read into Jones’ remark, it at least ensures he is not concerned about Lamb’s absence continuing into the preseason.
The 25-year-old has been away from the team throughout the offseason. Lamb is attached to his rookie contract (by virtue of the fifth-year option), and as a result the mandatory daily fines he is accumulating can be waived by the Cowboys once a deal is in place. The Oklahoma product has been connected to an asking price which would make him the league’s highest-paid receiver (and non-quarterback), although it may take less than $35MM per season to get him back in the fold.
Dallas has made an offer as recently as late July, and Jones has made it clear in the past several months he is willing to remain patient on the Lamb front. That has remained the case for Prescott and Parsons, and the latter’s pending mega-deal is being taken into account even though he is still on the books for two more years. The Cowboys’ cap situation for years to come will depend on how things shake out with that trio, but it appears more time will elapse before any tangible movement is seen on the contract front with at least one of its members.
