Cowboys star receiver CeeDee Lamb can return to the playing field with his Dallas teammates.
The All-Pro receiver got paid $136 million on a four-year deal. He will receive $100 million guaranteed with a $38 million signing bonus. His signing bonus is the largest a receiver has ever gotten.
Lamb is now the second-highest paid receiver in the NFL, trailing only Justin Jefferson who received $35 million a year earlier this offseason.

Lamb was away from the team all summer and skipped all of the Cowboys camps and preseason games. There was displeasure shown through media and X between team owner Jerry Jones and Lamb throughout this saga, but ultimately the two were able to come to a deal.
Lamb is considered to be one of the best players in the entire league. In his four years so far, he has accumulated 5,145 yards and 32 touchdowns on 395 catches. Last year, he trailed only Tyreek Hill in yards, going for 135 catches and 1,749 yards.
The Cowboys can now return all focus to the field and will look to compete for the NFC East. Getting their best offensive weapon back will certainly help Dak Prescott and company, and the Cowboys offense is once again looking to be one of the best in the league. Lamb will help open up the field to potentially aid a questionable backfield.
