FRISCO - CeeDee Lamb has been absent from OTAs this week, and though his presence is missed within the locker room, our informal survey of his teammates indicates full support of his decision. Lamb is in the final year of his rookie contract and is set to make $17.991 million this season, well below market value. "He's got my support and (that of) pretty much everybody in this locker room ... Hopefully, he'll get all his and everything he deserves and is worth," said Prescott.

FRISCO - The main headline for the Dallas Cowboys wide receiver room is the absence of CeeDee Lamb from OTAs. But with Lamb not here in the building, younger players can take the opportunity to impress the coaches in OTAs ... And so far, Jalen Tolbert is doing just that. "I think his confidence has taken leaps and bounds," said coach Mike McCarthy. Tolbert entered his third season with the most significant opportunity yet to become the team's rising star with a new secret ingredient.

FRISCO - Although the Dallas Cowboys front office has yet to move on extending Dak Prescott's contract this offseason, it doesn't seem to be at the forefront of his mind.

"I don't play for money," the quarterback said when asked how he can be so patient throughout the process.
