Dallas Cowboys footballer is boycotting the team's training camp. What’s the matter?

Dallas Cowboys player CeeDee Lamb is boycotting his team’s training camp, ESPN reports.

The wide receiver has not received the desired new contract and has taken radical action as a result. Lamb's agent and the Cowboys have been negotiating for several weeks but have not reached an agreement. CeeDee has one year left on his contract, for which he is set to receive $17.9 million.

Lamb wants to become the highest-paid receiver in Cowboys history and earn a salary comparable to Justin Jefferson's, which is $35 million per year. He already missed Dallas's mandatory minicamp, incurring a $100,000 fine. For each day he misses of the main training camp, he will be fined $50,000.

Last season, the NFL generated approximately $13 billion in revenue. Each team will receive about $400 million.

It is worth noting that the NFL team Carolina Panthers will remain in Charlotte, as the city council allocated funds for stadium renovations. According to the plan, $800 million has been allocated for the stadium's refurbishment.
