During an interview with Complex Sports in 2025, the Cowboys wide receiver revealed he spent around $1.3 million each year on training, recovery, and overall body maintenance to stay ready for the demands of an NFL season.

CeeDee Lamb has never hidden how seriously he takes preparing for an NFL season.

"I'm not going to lie. It's a lot of money," Lamb said. "Every two weeks is $50,000… There's 52 weeks in a year… That's your number," Lamb said in 2025.

His routine includes ice baths, steam rooms, cryotherapy, acupuncture, red light therapy, a hyperbaric chamber, massages, and other recovery methods designed to help his body withstand the league's physical demands, according to Men's Journal.

"What I do for a living, it's very physical," Lamb said on Complex Sports in 2025. "Some short weeks are more lethal than your regular seven-day schedule. So I'm just staying on top of that and always trying to replenish the body, stay hydrated, keep my muscle functioning up."

The investment has matched the production. Lamb signed a four-year, $136 million extension with Dallas in 2024 and later restructured the deal to help the Cowboys create salary cap space, according to Men's Journal.

"[It's about] waking up and making the right decision at all times… Did you make better decisions than you did the day before?" Lamb added.

Even while dealing with a lingering shoulder injury last season, Lamb still finished with 1,194 receiving yards and six touchdowns.

He has also recorded four straight 1,000-yard seasons, contributing to proving why taking care of his body has become a year-round priority.

Has CeeDee Lamb already identified the Cowboys' biggest problem?

The Cowboys know where they need to improve heading into the 2026 season, and CeeDee Lamb believes the answer starts with finishing drives.

Dallas finished last season ranked 18th in red-zone touchdown percentage, converting 57 percent of its opportunities into six points, according to Sport DFW.

"Finishing in the end zone," Lamb told Todd Archer of ESPN on August 6. "Executing when you need to, third downs, sometimes on first (down)."

The Cowboys also gave away valuable chances by committing 11 turnovers inside the red zone, settling for 17 field goals instead of touchdowns.

 "Just being able to not really shoot ourselves in the foot, those self-inflicted wounds or penalties that'll really bring us back or kill our momentum. And again, finishing in the end zone," Lamb added.

For Lamb, the message is straightforward. If the Cowboys want their offense to take the next step, they have to finish drives when the opportunity is there.
