CINCINNATI — Newly paid Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb knows what Ja'Marr Chase is going through with his ongoing contract saga. Chase and his representation couldn't strike a deal with the Bengals before the start of the 2024 season.

Meanwhile, Lamb just became the second-highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL by average salary and offered what he would tell Chase on Up & Adams.

"I know for him, it's a very difficult situation mentally. Obviously, physically, he's been playing ball his whole life, so I'm not really worried about him being physically ready," Lamb noted about the situation. "But mentally, be locked in and stay true to yourself again and always just stay true to what you believe in man.

"I know this is going to be a tough situation for him, and obviously it's going to be an ongoing conversation, because it already started, and everybody's kind of expecting to see his name hit the market. So for him, man, the only thing I would say to him, just keep working, keep grinding, bro. And it's things that he already knows. I can't tell him anything that he doesn't know already. You gotta get what you worth. Again, stay true to what you what you believe in. Know your worth and the rest will take care of itself. I'm a fan of Ja'Marr."

Lamb noted he wouldn't have played for Dallas in Week 1 without a new contract, but Chase rolled out a six-catch performance against New England and said last week he's willing to play the rest of the season with or without an extension.

We'll see if he can torch the strong Chiefs secondary this weekend and help Cincinnati pull off another road upset over Kansas City.

Really thoughtful answer here. Can’t believe the deal isn’t done. #whodey pic.twitter.com/ehUcuPJO9v
