It's about to get hotter in North Texas. Football season is here.
- The Cowboys are back home this weekend to play their final preseason game against the Chargers.
Why it matters: The team's regular season roster remains up in the air, most notably with wide receiver CeeDee Lamb still holding out for a better contract.
- Plus, the future of the Cowboys remains in limbo because the team has yet to sign a contract extension with quarterback Dak Prescott.
Catch up fast: Lamb is one of the best wide receivers in the league and wants a paycheck to match his performance.
- His rookie contract ends after this season. The Cowboys have offered him a contract extension of slightly under $33 million per season.
- The wide receiver missed training camp and has not played any preseason games. It's unclear if he will play during the first regular season game.
State of play: The Cowboys beat the Las Vegas Raiders last week but fell by one point to the LA Rams in the first preseason game.
- Betting odds show the Cowboys winning tomorrow over the Chargers.
The intrigue: Cowboys tickets still remain some of the most expensive in the NFL. Resale prices are higher than the national average, but much cheaper than going to a game in Vegas.
What's next: The Cowboys open the season in Cleveland on Sept. 8.
