Micah Parsons: CeeDee Lamb is priority for Cowboys

While Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons says he’s ready to commit to the team “for life,” he also understands that the club may have a higher priority in negotiating with wide receiver CeeDee Lamb.”I know they gotta get CeeDee Lamb done. I think that’s the priority right now,” Parsons told NFL Network on Friday.Lamb, 24, heads into the 2024 season on the last season of his contract thanks to a fifth-year option.However, after a season in which he set a Cowboys’ franchise record for receptions (135) and receiving yards (1,749), Lamb is expected to seek a significant increase from his $17.9 million fifth-year salary. That would bring him more in line with the annual salaries of other wide receivers in the league like Miami’s Tyreek Hill ($30 million) and Las Vegas’ Davante Adams ($28 million).In early January, when asked if he would like to be the NFL’s highest-paid receiver, Lamb said, “Ideally, yeah, for sure.”Parsons, 24, also has the numbers to earn a raise, having earned Pro Bowl team and All-Pro nods in each of his first three seasons. Selected by the Cowboys with the 12th pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, Parsons has one year left on his rookie deal, with this offseason being the first opportunity to extend his deal.
