The Dallas Cowboys have several decisions to make this offseason, and they will all cost Jerry Jones plenty of money.
For starters, they have to figure out what to do with Dak Prescott and his impending contract extension.
Then, they have to do the same with his best receiver, CeeDee Lamb.
Talking to Micah Parsons on his podcast, the talented wideout admitted that he’s looking forward to being one of the highest-paid, if not the highest-paid player at his position next year (via Jon Machota).
“I can’t give you no numbers right now, but I’ll tell you this, one of the top paid receivers for sure,” Lamb said.

Right now, Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill ranks No. 1 with a whopping $30 million per year, so Lamb is looking at a massive payday.
Lamb most definitely earned that.
He’s coming off the best season of his career, earning an All-Pro nod and being the second-best player at his position all year long.
Despite a slow start to the campaign and some rumblings about a potential trade request because of his lack of involvement in the offense, he managed to finish the season with a league-best 135 receptions for 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns.
The Cowboys had the best quarterback-wide receiver duo in the NFC ahead of the playoffs, but that didn’t stop them from falling in the Wild Card round to the Green Bay Packers.
Even so, Lamb doesn’t seem to be interested in pursuing another opportunity somewhere else, and he’ll look to continue being the biggest star in Jerry World for years to come.
Hopefully, that money will also come with some playoff success and a Super Bowl ring.
