Dallas Cowboys holdout wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is looking for the really big money in the wake of Justin Jefferson’s four-year, $140 million ($110 million guaranteed) contract extension with the Minnesota Vikings.
To showcase his displeasure with not yet receiving a deal, the 25-year-old star receiver, who is currently set to play out the season on the fifth-year deal from his rookie contract, did not show up for OTAs or mandatory minicamp.
Well, the disgruntled Cowboy recently took to social media and dropped a cryptic message that could be taken any number of ways.

“Starting to Cee the light & it feel real all of a sudden,” Lamb posted via Instagram, alongside a photo of him in training attire.
This one-line message could actually be taken one of two ways. Maybe he’s implying that he sees the end of the tunnel when it comes to contract talks and a deal may be imminent. Also, however, he could be saying that he sees that no deal is coming through and that it’s finally becoming “real” that his days as a Cowboy are done.
If the words of veteran NFL analyst Adam Schefter are accurate, though, Lamb’s message may more likely be a good-bye than an ‘I’m coming back.’
