GET UP | Adam Schefter reveals Cowboys announcing both Dak and CeeDee Lamb contract extensions today

boys for their opening game on the road week one against the Browns CD lamb entering the last year of his deal he still hasn't reported time is Tick Tick ticking away and Listen to Jerry Jones choice of response when asked for an update over the weekend we're not uh I don't have any updates but uh we're are near the season starting have you seen him or his representation listen got a lot of things to talk about I'm only talking about who's here okay so look this has stopped being cute right I mean a month ago I said oh maybe we've got a story in Dallas I'll try and make it into something here but obviously they'll get this thing done and Chey we are less than two weeks away from them being on the field for their first regular season game oh by the way against what might have been the best defense in the NFL last year and he's still not signed and jery doesn't sound like it's close August 26th today is August 26th the two sides are roughly roughly I don't know the specifics about a million doar a year apart how hard can it be to bridge that difference to get one of the most valuable players in football back into the fold less than two weeks before the start of the regular season and Dallas has to take on the Cleveland Browns we're talking about a million dollars if you're the Dallas Cowboys puff up the last few years inflate the average salary get the guy in Camp and get it done they're not that far apart like I would have thought this deal would have been done we weeks ago weeks ago and here we are August 26 it's still not done most people believe it's going to get done but it's hard to think that they have allowed it to linger both sides to this spot to this time and again assuming it does get done because they're only roughly a million dollars apart then you got to worry about him getting back in getting up to conditioning level soft tissue injury like what are we doing listen that that and I've been bringing this up for weeks and you lived it right through the derell Rivas thing and and it's just the example that I bring up all the time but when these players hold out until right before the season starts especially the skill position guys they want to be out there because they they want to be good teammates they want to earn the money when they get the deal they come in there and then they grab a hamstring the first or second game and the entire season winds up being defined by that saw it firstand saw it with Dell Rivers Dell Rivers held out got his money glad for it you know as a former player and then we played New England matriots here's the play there it is right there bam hamstring done was you knowas is defined by that then he's going to miss two weeks now you're going to try and bring him back then oh he's still not now it's another three weeks it it winds up being the entire season that you're dealing with that's that's usually the nerd because we always talk about you know when you miss time in training camp you're not in football shape there's a difference between running around and conditioning and running around with pads on you know doing all the things that that you need to do you know on the football field so it should be a a this should be a fair warning to every all parties involved like boy you are jeopardizing your season by not getting having this guy in the training camp I believe last week in my absence L rck on this show described it as sabotaging their own season the way this thing is playing out Dan orlovski what are your thoughts so the Cowboys have put their whole season the future of Dak Prescott is Cowboy and the future of Mike McCarthy as their head coach at legit risk over a million dollar roughly I mean I you know we're not we're not talking about that much that's one of the dumbest things I have heard this whole offseason if that's the case Chey somewhere in that world and we have no reason to doubt Dan I'm close that is absolutely ridiculous how much the Cowboys worth organization billion billion okay yeah go ahead Dan sorry put all of that at risk over a million bucks this isn't over three four5 million a year this isn't over the the multiple years length of the contract City wants three they want five or V something roughly a million and you're putting your season at risk you're putting the the future of having Dak as your quarterback at risk and then you're putting the future of having Mike McCarthy as the head coach at risk over that that's one of the dumbest things this offseason it's very difficult to figure out when you consider and I almost mean this literally that Jerry Jones probably could find a million dollars in the cushions of his couch and and I say that you know only mostly jokingly but to DW's point the franchise is worth1 billion the season has absolutely everything in the world riding on it they used the term Allin and I finally figured out that what Jerry meant by that was he's putting everyone on notice it's now or never this seemed like overwhelmingly the easy one to get done of the deals that they needed to get done I I really do find this impossible to understand and Justin Jefferson is at 35 million dollar a year so okay let's say CD isn't worth what Justin Jefferson is he's a notch below okay what is it so is it 34 is it 33 is it between those two numbers is it 33 and a half it's not that hard to get done my understanding is there's not an issue with the years in the deal I think in the end ultimately it's probably going to be just like the Jefferson deal Jefferson was four years plus one that was left five years in total one and four and I would think that that'll be the case that's not the issue the issue is over the value of the deal and the value should not be hard to figure out and even if they can't figure it out just sit down at a table and don't get up until that deal is done and this player is back and he's getting ready for the start of the regular season look if I was his agent I would be asking for every penny that Justin Jefferson got because is whether I think or you think or you think Justin Jefferson might be a little bit better CD lamb has been just as productive he is just as important he's on a team that desperately needs him he is part of the future of that franchise regardless of whether the quarterback is there for the next five years or not the building blocks of that team going forward are going to be CD lamb and Micah Parsons no matter what you're going to have to get Parson's deal done next year so so let me let me re reframe this very quickly I get you and and Dan in very quickly on this if they don't have him what are they if if if if they go to week one against Cleveland without him what are the Cowboys toast toast they're toast I mean you talking about a guy who led the league in targets led the league in receptions second in the league in in in yards receiving yards he is their offense like he is their he is their offense I don't have the percentage of you know how much of how much of the office he accounted for but I guarantee there you go 35 35% of the off came around CD lamb and and the other 65% happened because the defense was focused on CD lamb he is the entire offense Chef you I mean uh Dan all kidding aside like if you're Dak Prescott in a private moment what are you thinking as you're seeing this thing playing out and overwhelmingly your most important receiver isn't there that I'm being set up to fail that I'm being set up to be hung out to dry in my last season as a Dallas Cowboy if they don't have CD lamb and now if we're just keeping it real about football the Don Bland injury this a four five win team yeah I mean without CD lamb it's a disaster and so look I'll keep saying it I hear shefy keep saying it they have to get it done but we've been saying that for four weeks right four weeks we've been saying of course it'll get done of course it'll get done of course it'll get done so we're going to have to wait and see until it's done it isn't done we've got eight more big questions on this the 10day mark before the start of the Season some of them involve that man do the Jets need Aaron to play like an MVP to win a championship plus the one missing piece that could make all the difference for them and why is Dion Sanders suddenly not talking fore speee give [Music] we for in [Music] [Music] fore e the target is
