Below is a look at the NFL's highest-paid WRs in AAV, per OverTheCap.com.
| Rank | Player | Team | AAV |
| 1 | Justin Jefferson | Vikings | $35 million |
| 2 | CeeDee Lamb | Cowboys | $34 million |
| 3 | A.J. Brown | Eagles | $32 million |
| 4 | Amon-Ra St. Brown | Lions | $30.0025 million |

| 10 | DeVonta Smith | Eagles | $25 million |
The total value of Lamb's deal is the third-highest in the league. It checks in just $4 million behind Jefferson and Davante Adams' total values of $140 million.
Here are the NFL's 10 highest-paid receivers in total contract value.
| Rank | Player | Team | Contract value |
| 1 | Justin Jefferson | Vikings | $140 million |
| Davante Adams | Raiders | $140 million | |
| 3 | CeeDee Lamb | Cowboys | $136 million |
| 4 | Amon-Ra St. Brown | Lions | $120.01 million |
| 5 | D.J. Moore | Bears | $110 million |
| 6 | Amari Cooper | Browns | $100 million |

| 8 | Calvin Ridley | Titans | $92 million |
| 9 | Tyreek Hill | Dolphins | $90 million |
| 10 | Jaylen Waddle | Dolphins | $84.75 million |
It isn't clear how long Lamb will hold onto the No. 2 spot on this list. Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase is still looking for a lucrative extension, and if he signs one before the 2024 season, it could challenge the value of Lamb's contract.
Either way, the Cowboys star is breaking the bank and locking in his long-term future as the top weapon on Dallas' offense.
