Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has agreed to a four-year, $136 million contract. Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter post on X, “Cowboys and All-Pro WR CeeDee Lamb reached agreement today on a record four-year, $136 million deal that now makes him the second highest-paid non-QB in NFL history. The deal includes a $38 million signing bonus, the largest ever given to a wide receiver. Tory Dandy of CAA negotiated the deal with the Cowboys.” The deal comes after the Cowboys exercised the $18 million fifth-year option on Lamb’s rookie contract for the 2024 season in April.

Sources told NFL Network that the pact includes $100 million guaranteed. Lamb, 25, will receive a $38 million signing bonus, the most ever given to a wide receiver. Lamb’s $34 million average annual salary is the second-most among NFL wide receivers, trailing only the Vikings’ Justin Jefferson with $35 million.

The No. 17 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Lamb totaled career-highs with a league-best 135 catches, 1,749 yards and 14 total touchdowns over 17 starts last season. He logged 395 catches for 5,145 yards and 35 total touchdowns through his first 66 games with the Cowboys, and was named to his third straight Pro Bowl and earned first-team All-Pro honors for the first time in his career.

The Cowboys will face the Cleveland Browns in their season opener Sept. 8 in Cleveland.
