Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has ended his holdout and agreed to a four-year, $136 million deal that makes him the second-highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.

The deal includes a $38 million signing bonus, the largest ever given to a wide receiver, and $100 million guaranteed, per sources.

The deal makes Lamb the highest-paid wide receiver in Cowboys' history.

By missing training camp and three preseason games, Lamb could be fined more than $3 million. But the team has the ability to rescind the penalty since he was on his rookie contract.

Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that Lamb's return will boost the morale of his team.

"Not only with what he brings to the table -- we've been talking about what he does with his production -- but when that big smile he walks in the locker room, everybody's going to be fired up because that's the kind of juice. He brings, that's that type of energy to our locker room," McCarthy said.

Interestingly enough, McCarthy had the second shortest odds of being fired first in the NFL, especially in light of the Lamb controversy.  Dallas was favored to win Under 10.5 regular season games, even with Lamb now remaining with the team.
