CeeDee Lamb is holding out for a new contract, but he’s not slowing down. The Dallas Cowboys star receiver says he’s been “grinding” in preparation for the season while waiting for the call to rejoin his teammates.

Lamb has been quiet during his extended holdout, which has seen him miss all of training camp and two preseason games. On Friday, August 23, he posted a video on social media with a message about his situation.

“Still waiting on that phone call, but until then we grind,” Lamb said in the video. “Control what I can control and that’s to be the best version of me.”

The Cowboys are hopeful they’ll reach a resolution with Lamb before the season kicks off on September 8. Lamb will make around $18 million next season in the final year of his rookie deal. He’s seeking a lucrative extension that will pay him close to what the top receivers in the league are making.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is currently the top-paid non-quarterback, hauling in $35 million per season.
