[Lamb is ] embroiled in a contract holdout that’s lasted the entire offseason and the way things are not progressing he won’t report to Oxnard, Calif., next week for training camp.
The good news is the Cowboys made Lamb their No. 1 priority. According to a person with knowledge of the front office’s thinking, the Cowboys are putting Lamb’s contract extension talks ahead of quarterback Dak Prescott’s.
Prescott is expected to be on the field next Thursday for the first training camp practice of the summer. You can finalize Prescott’s expected massive contract later with the understanding he’s coming to work.
When Lamb arrives in Southern California for work is unknown. A person with knowledge of Lamb’s thinking said a final decision hasn’t been made on whether he will continue his holdout when training camp starts.
The holdup or the holdout is caused by the Cowboys’ inability to construct a deal worthy enough to get Lamb to work. You could also view this as Lamb not being willing to compromise more to get a deal finalized.
