On Thursday evening, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones dropped a bombshell while speaking with the media. Jones said he doesn't feel any urgency when it comes to contract negotiations with the team's star receiver, CeeDee Lamb.

Those words have sent the NFL world into a whirlwind in the past 12 hours.

Now, there are takes that Lamb would prefer not to play in Dallas any longer.

ESPN's Courtney Cronin didn't hold back her feelings when discussing the matter on First Take on Friday morning.

Cronin believes the decisions being made by the organization are not being made by football people and that Jones is pushing one of his most talented players out the door without even realizing it.

Lamb requesting a trade would put the franchise in an impossible spot so close to the start of the season.

However, it feels like this all could have been avoided.

The 2024 season was supposed to be an all-in situation with the entire team on the same page. Now, it feels like the players and the front office are reading different books.

The contract issues should never have made it this far, and yet, Cowboys fans are left frustrated by the powers that be.
