destination for all things America's team whether you bleed blue and silver or are just starting to catch Cowboys fever this is the place if you are a diart fan please make sure to subscribe for more latest news and updates of your favorite Team all right let's kick things off with a man the myth the legend cedi lamb now if you've been following the Cowboys even casually you know that lamb has been nothing short of spectacular since he joined the team but here's the thing his rookie contract is nearing its end and it's time for the Cowboys to make some big decisions let's break down the current situation lamb is entering the fourth year of his rookie deal which means the Cowboys have already already exercised his fifth year option for the 2024 season that's great news for us fans because it means were guaranteed at least two more years of CD magic but here's where it gets interesting the Cowboys front office led by the always unpredictable Jerry Jones has made it clear that they want to lock lamb down for the Long Haul and why wouldn't they in just three seasons lamb has racked up three , 396 receiving yards and 20 touchdowns he's been to the Pro Bowl twice and has established himself as one of the most dynamic receivers in the league but here's the million-dollar question or should I say the hundred million question what kind of contract are we looking at for CD lamb well let's look at some recent Lamb Contract contracts for top tier wide receivers to get an idea Tyreek Hill signed a 4-year one $20 million deal with the dolphins devant Adams Got 5 years and $140 million from the Raiders and let's not forget about uh Jay Brown's 4-year $1100 million contract with the Eagles now lamb might not command quite that much but he's certainly in the ballpark we're probably looking at a deal somewhere in the range of $25 to $30 million per year that's a hefty price tag but for a player of Lamb's caliber it might just be worth it the good news is that both sides seem eager to get a deal done lamb has expressed his desire to stay in Dallas and the Cowboys have made it clear that keeping him is a top priority but as we all know in the NFL nothing is certain until the ink is dry on that contract one factor that could complicate things is the timing the Cowboys have several other key players they need to consider for extensions including Trayvon Diggs and teren steel plus there's the looming Spectre of Micah Parson's eventual payday balancing all these contracts while staying under the salary cap is going to be a real challenge for the front office but let's be real here CD lamb is the kind of player you build a franchise around he's young he's Prescott Contract talented and he's only getting better the Cowboys would be crazy to let him walk and I think they know it my prediction we'll see a deal get done before the start of the 2023 season it'll probably be in the neighborhood of 5 years and $140 million with a good chunk of that guaranteed now let's shift our Focus to the man under Center doc Prescott Doc's contract situation is a bit different from Lambs but it's no less intriguing as most of you probably remember doc signed a massive 4-year $160 million contract extension back in 2021 at the time it was one of the biggest deals in NFL history and it seemed like the Cowboys had their quarterback situation sorted for the foreseeable future but here's the thing about the NFL the future comes at you fast we're now 2 years into that deal and believe it or not it's already time to start thinking about what comes next doc current contract runs through the 2024 season but here's where it gets interesting his cap hit for 2024 is an eye-watering $ 59.4 million that's a huge chunk of the salary cap tied up in one player even if that player is your franchise quarterback so what are the Cowboys Cowboys Options options well there are a few ways this could play out option one they could let the contract play out as is this would mean taking that massive cap hit in 2024 which would severely limit their ability to sign or retain other key players it's not an ideal scenario but it's on the table option two they could look to restructure Doc's contract this would involve converting some of his base salary into a signing bonus which would allow them to spread the cap hit over multiple years it's a common practice in the NFL and it's something the Cowboys have done before with other players option three they could look to extend Doc's contract again this would allow them to lower his immediate cap hit while securing his services for additional years given Doc's importance to the team this might be the most likely scenario now let's talk about Doc's performance and how it might impact these contract discussions Prescott has been a solid quarterback for the Cowboys but he's also based his share of criticism his 2022 season was a mix of highs and lows on the one hand he tied for the league lead in interceptions with 15 despite missing five games on the other hand he still threw for 2,860 yards and 23 touchdowns in just 12 games the Cowboys have consistently made the playoffs with Doc at the helm but they've also consistently fallen short of the NFC champion ship game this has led some fans and analysts to question whether Doc is truly an elite quarterback worthy of elite quarterback money but here's the thing the quarterback Market in the NFL is always evolving just look at some recent deals Aaron Rogers got $150 million over 3 years from the Jets Deshawn Watson got $230 million fully guaranteed from the Browns even Derek Carr got one $150 million over 4 years from the Saints in that context Doc's current deal doesn't look quite as outrageous as it did when he first signed it and if he has a strong 2023 season he could be in line for another big payday my prediction I think we'll see the Cowboys and Dake agree to an extension before the 2024 season it'll probably be in the range of 4 years and $180 million with a structure that helps alleviate that massive 2024 cap hit the Cowboys know that good quarterbacks are hard to find and for all his faults doc has been a good quarterback for this team all right now let's switch gears and talk about some recent injury news that's been coming out of cowboys Camp we've got updates on two players running back reyce Freeman and tight end Luke Royce Freeman Injury Schoonmaker let's start with Royce Freeman now Freeman isn't exactly a household name for most Cowboys fans he was signed to the practice squad late last season and then resigned to a reserve future contract in January he's battling for a spot in a crowded Cowboys backfield that includes Tony Pard Ronald Jones and rookie duvon the latest news on Freeman is that he's been dealing with a foot injury it's not clear exactly when or how he sustained the injury but it's been enough to keep him out of some recent practices this is obviously not great news for a player fighting for a roster spot the severity of the injury is still unclear but any mtime is crucial for a player in Freeman's position he's got NFL experience having played for the Broncos Texans and Panthers but he's never been able to establish himself as more than a backup as always the NFL offseason is full of drama and Intrigue and the Cowboys are right in the thick of it these contract negotiations and injury situations will have a big impact on the team's Fortunes in the upcoming season and Beyond what do you think about these developments are you excited about the possibility of locking up CD lamb longterm do you think doc Prescott is worth another big contract let me know in the comments below and don't forget to like this video And subscribe subscribe to the channel for
