Jerry Jones: Cowboys, CeeDee Lamb having 'promising talks' #cowboys #nflfootball #nfl

As the holdout of Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb continues, owner and general manager Jerry Jones said Tuesday the sides are having "promising talks" regarding a contract extension.

Just what that means is not entirely clear because negotiations have taken place at different times throughout training camp without a resolution. Opening day against the Cleveland Browns is Sept. 8.

Asked whether he is optimistic there will be a deal, Jones said, "Well, I think I am and when I say that, it doesn't sound too promising. The facts are that I believe we'll come together. I don't want to speak for him. That's what I'm trying not to do. But we wouldn't have offered him what we've offered him if we didn't want him to be here."
