CeeDee Lamb is back with the Dallas Cowboys after signing a historic four-year, $136 million contract extension this week.

The new deal ended a lengthy holdout that kept the All-Pro wide receiver away from the team's offseason workouts and training camp, but now he's back at The Star with his teammates and on the field for practice.

Following his first practice session, Lamb spoke to the media to discuss a wide range of topics, but there was one pressing question everyone wanted the answer to.

What was up with that Spider-Man post?

Lamb posted a photo of Spider-Man in a black suit on his Instagram story that had everyone in a frenzy. People were searching for the hidden meaning in his message and went down some wild rabbit holes, but now we have an answer.

According to Lamb, the image was posted because of his mindset entering 2024.

"That’s my favorite superhero," Lamb told reporters. "He’s entering his villain arc and I’m coming back for vengeance, so that’s what that is."
