CeeDee Lamb has been a big piece to their success as of late, and now he’s in line for a massive contract extension. That extension is taking a while to get done, and in the meantime Lamb decided to release a video about the ordeal.

Lamb decided to show he is staying ready during the contract drama:

It wasn’t until the week of the season opener that the Cowboys signed holdout running back Ezekiel Elliott to a contract extension back in 2019. A touchdown and 14 touches for 63 yards were his stats in the season opener against the Giants.

Lamb earned $2.52 million last season and will earn $17.991 million this season on his fifth-year option. For the first time in his career, he earned All-Pro honors after catching 135 passes for 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Cleveland hosts the Cowboys in their first game of the season on Sept. 8.
