It appears the absence of CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons at Dallas Cowboys’ OTAs this week was quite loud, as it raised concern among the fans about the future of these two star players, especially wide receiver Lamb. 

There had already been speculation regarding him holding out until the Cowboys offered him a satisfactory deal and his absence from the offseason program has only confirmed it. Even though the franchise claims to prioritize Lamb’s extension, NFL Network’s Jane Slater revealed there hasn’t been any contract discussion for a while.

In the recent segment of NFL Live on ESPN, analyst Mina Kimes gave her opinion on the Cowboys’ unconventional silence over signing its star players as he called out the franchise particularly for not finalizing the deal with the 2023 NFL reception leader.

You can make a case for not doing it with Dak Prescott if they really are tired. They feel like they’ve hit a ceiling– I don’t personally agree with that but I can understand that. I do not see a case not getting a deal done by now with CeeDee Lamb, it makes no sense. He was on my first-team All-Pro last list, you guys have talked about the lack of depth behind him, there’s no logic to this. And if I was a Cowboys fan, I would be very very nervous about it.

Kimes supported the argument of Lamb proving himself one of the best receivers in the league, yet the Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones asserted to expect more from him and left the contract talk unresolved.

As much as Lamb’s absence from the team’s first go-round of workouts concerns the fans, the Cowboys weren’t surprised as it’s the go-to move for top receivers to sit out OTAs, to get a satisfactory deal. 

Given, that Lamb isn’t the only one sitting out the organized team activities of his deal, Brandon Aiyuk of the San Francisco 49ers, Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings, and Tee Higgins of the Cincinnati Bengals were also reportedly absent.

Although the Cowboys are yet to offer an extension to Parsons, the big priority for the Cowboys at the moment is finding common ground with wideout Lamb as he is entering the final year of his contract while Parsons has two years remaining on his contract.
