As busy as the\u00a0D<\/a>allas Cowboys’ offseason has seemed at times, it will be hard for fans to forget the drama and inactivity that plagued last offseason.<\/p>\n

Two massive contracts in\u00a0CeeDee Lamb\u00a0and Dak Prescott were left largely unattended and a frighteningly quiet free agency led to frustration before the season started. The\u00a0Cowboys\u00a0would eventually pay the price for that inefficiency with a disappointing 7-10 record.<\/p>\n

Things seem to be moving in a better direction this offseason, but there is a lot to be done to patch the wounds left from last summer.<\/p>\n

Lamb, who was eventually given a four-year, $136 million extension, has released a behind-the-scenes vlog series on YouTube that followed him all throughout last season … including his holdout of training camp and the preseason during his contract talks.<\/p>\n

Owner Jerry Jones had expressed very little sense of urgency when talking to the media about Lamb’s negotiations, leading CeeDee to drop an “lol” response on X\/Twitter that sent out shockwaves of speculation last summer.<\/p>\n

The All-Pro receiver opened up about Jones’ controversial comments.<\/p>\n

“Wow. Yeah that was a dagger … way to ruin my day.” Lamb remembered about his reaction.<\/p>\n
