Things are much more harmonious in Dallas Cowboys land.

The Cowboys and star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb reportedly agreed to a contract extension. The deal makes Lamb one of the highest-paid receivers in the league.

Lamb’s deal is reportedly for four years and worth $136M, including a $38M signing bonus.

Lamb will be making $34M per year, according to the deal terms. That makes him the second-highest paid receiver in the NFL, behind only Justin Jefferson.

Lamb’s deal comes as the wide receiver market was reset this offseason. Eleven different receivers received contract extensions. But Ja’Marr Chase and Brandon Aiyuk are still waiting on deals for themselves.
