Report: Cowboys restructure three contracts, under salary cap

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Dallas Cowboys are in compliance with the 2026 salary cap of $301.2 million following a series of contract restructures, according to multiple reports.

Dallas worked to restructure contracts of quarterback Dak Prescott, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and offensive lineman Tyler Smith, ESPN reported.

Before the moves, Dallas was nearly $55 million over the cap. These moves reportedly save approximately $66 million in cap space, dropping all three players to base salaries below $2 million for 2026 while converting the rest into signing bonuses.

Prescott previously had a base salary of $40 million for the 2026 season, while Lamb’s was just over $20 million and Smith had a $10.5 million salary.

There is a future impact on these moves, increasing the future cap hits of these players’ contracts. Prescott’s cap hit is now over $75 million in 2027 and over $85 million in 2028.

More restructured deals could be on the way for Dallas. GM Jerry Jones said last week at the NFL Scouting Combine that the team intends to restructure the contracts of defensive tackles Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark and Osa Odighizuma.

This trio is projected to account for a combined $63 million against the 2026 cap. Reworking their deals would create even more space for an aggressive free-agency push which Jones had hinted at Dallas making this offseason.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb practices, still in protocol

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was a full participant in Thursday’s practice but has not yet cleared concussion protocol, he said in the locker room following the workout.

Lamb is wearing a protection Guardian cap over his helmet and remains optimistic he’ll be cleared to play Sunday night when Dallas welcomes the Minnesota Vikings. His level of participation was an uptick from a limited workout Wednesday.

Lamb said he believes he’s ready to play in what sets up as a veritable must-win for the Cowboys (6-6-1) in a tightly packed NFC playoff race.

“It’s not like you are thinking about what if,” Lamb said.

Tight end Jake Ferguson (calf) went from limited Wednesday to not practicing Thursday, raising concern about his availability on Sunday. Left tackle Tyler Guyton (ankle) also missed Thursday’s practice.

Lamb left the Cowboys’ loss to the Lions in the third quarter last Thursday with a concussion only after catching six passes for 121 yards, his second consecutive 100-yard game.

He has 57 catches for 865 yards and three touchdowns in 2025 in 10 games. Lamb missed three games — against the Packers, Jets and Panthers — with a high ankle sprain.

No explanation behind Cowboys WRs sitting out first drive vs. Raiders

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Dallas Cowboys starting wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens didn’t take the field to start Monday’s game against the host Las Vegas Raiders because of a disciplinary matter all parties are keeping undisclosed.

“It’s tough. Made a coach’s decision, some things that were missed,” Dallas coach Brian Schottenheimer said after his team’s 33-16 victory. “Had a conversation with those guys that was easy. You look with the energy those guys play with, they jump-started the offense when they got back in there. That’s why I love those guys, again, this was a great team win.”

When asked what exactly was “missed,” Schottenheimer was quick with a response.

“A couple of things missed,” he said.

Neither wide receiver seemed intent on talking about the issue.

“Not going into depth on that honestly,” Lamb said. “I’m not. I’m sorry. I’m not.”

Pickens chose a different path, saying that he wasn’t on the field because of a defensive alignment by the Raiders. When informed that Schottenheimer said it was a disciplinary issue, Pickens declared “that’s between me and Schotty.”

Lamb and Pickens returned for Dallas’ second drive. Pickens reeled in a 12-yard catch during the Cowboys’ third possession and Lamb capped the team’s fourth with an 18-yard touchdown reception early in the second quarter.

Pickens had nine catches for 144 yards and one touchdown and Lamb added five receptions for 66 yards and a score.

The Cowboys (4-5-1) return to action at home against the NFC East-rival Philadelphia Eagles (8-2) on Sunday afternoon.

Reports: Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb to miss 3-4 weeks

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is expected to miss 3-4 weeks with a high ankle sprain, multiple outlets reported Monday.

Lamb was injured on a tackle by the Chicago Bears’ Noah Sewell during the first quarter of Sunday’s 31-14 road loss. He exited the game and did not return. It marked just the second time of his career he ended a game with zero receptions.

Dallas is 1-2 heading into a home game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night, and will be without the All-Pro Target. The Cowboys are 0-3 in Lamb’s career when he hasn’t played.

Lamb, 26, has 16 receptions for 222 yards this season in three games. Named to the Pro Bowl four times, Lamb has 512 receptions for 6,561 yards and 38 touchdowns in 84 games (79 starts) over six seasons in Dallas. He was named first-team All-Pro in 2023.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb injures leg at Bears

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was checked out for a lower-leg injury in the sideline medical tent early in the second quarter at Chicago on Sunday and was ruled out early in the third quarter.

Lamb went to the sideline after being dragged to the turf on a tackle by linebacker Noah Sewell that pulled his body opposite the direction of his forward momentum. Sewell landed on Lamb’s left knee and ankle.

Lamb, who lined up at running back, was dropped for the loss of 1 yard but the attempt didn’t count as an official carry because of offsetting penalties. He had zero receptions in the game when he exited.

Lamb grimaced as he made his way to the bench under his own power. Trainers ushered him to the blue medical tent but Lamb stayed in the bench area. The 11-play drive ended with Brandon Aubrey nailing a 53-yard field goal.

When the offense returned to the field with the Bears ahead 14-3, Lamb was walking gingerly on the sideline but did not have his helmet.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) done for year

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Dallas Cowboys are shutting down CeeDee Lamb for the rest of the season after the star wideout played through a shoulder injury for nearly two months.

Lamb initially sprained the AC joint in his right shoulder on Nov. 3 but has not missed any of the Cowboys’ first 15 games this season.

“Additional examinations and scans this week on CeeDee Lamb’s shoulder have determined that his injury has now progressed to a point that he will be listed as ‘Out’ for the remaining two games of the season,” a team spokesperson said in a statement to media outlets.

“He will undergo a process of treatment and rehabilitation for his shoulder, is not currently expected to require surgery and is projected to make a full recovery.”

The Cowboys (7-8), eliminated from playoff contention, face two division rivals to close the season. They visit the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday and will host the Washington Commanders in Week 18.

Lamb, 25, hauled in 101 receptions for 1,194 yards and six touchdowns this season. It marked his fourth straight 1,000-yard season, and he may be selected to a fourth straight Pro Bowl for his efforts.

Lamb signed a four-year, $136 million contract extension in August, covering the 2025-28 seasons.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) misses practice, plans to play

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb did his best to silence alarms over his absence at Thursday’s practice and repeated his plan is to play Monday night when Dallas faces the Cincinnati Bengals in Arlington, Texas.

“Still have the shoulder injury, which I’ve been dealing with for four or five weeks,” Lamb said Thursday. “As far as Monday goes, I’ll be fine.”

Lamb leads the team with 79 receptions for 880 yards and four touchdowns in 2024.

He and the Cowboys are benefitting from an 11-day break between Thanksgiving Day and their primetime matchup with the Bengals on Monday night.

Lamb said the injury is similar to a shoulder issue he dealt with while at Oklahoma.

“I have my range of motion and I have my strength back.” Lamb said.

Cowboys star WR CeeDee Lamb injures right shoulder

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has an injury to the AC joint in his right shoulder, the team said after the 27-21 road loss to the Atlanta Falcons. ESPN reported that Lamb will undergo an MRI on Monday.

Lamb, 25, played with the injury, which could be a sprain, after landing hard on his shoulder making a catch in the second quarter. He stayed in the game but again fell on the shoulder diving for a pass from Cooper Rush to the end zone with 5:26 left in the fourth quarter and Atlanta ahead 27-13.

He was in the game for a two-point conversion pass from Rush for the final points of the game with 1:28 remaining.

Lamb said after the game that he plans to play next week against the visiting Philadelphia Eagles, according to media reports. Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said he was “hopeful” that Lamb could play next week and doesn’t believe it’s a long-term injury.

Lamb made eight catches for 47 yards on Sunday, bringing his season totals to 53 receptions for 660 yards and four touchdowns. He also had two carries for 15 yards against the Falcons.

Dallas selected Lamb out of Oklahoma with the 17th overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Lamb has been selected to the Pro Bowl the past three seasons, and in 2023 he was voted first-team All-Pro when he had a league-high 135 receptions for 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns. He also rushed 14 times for 113 yards and two TDs.

He has played in 74 games (69 starts) and totaled 448 receptions for 5,805 yards and 36 TDs.

In August, he signed a four-year, $136 million contract extension includes a $38 million signing bonus and $100 million guaranteed, according to reports.
