CeeDee Lamb is being sued by a trading card firm over a breach of his contract. The Cowboys receiver is accused of not completing his part of an agreement with Leaf Trading Cards in which he was required to sign trading cards.

The star receiver did sign some cards for Leaf, however the company deemed it to be insufficient and believes he did not fulfill his contract. Brian Gray, the CEO of Leaf, took to Twitter to give a reason as to why the suit was filed against Lamb.

Gray said:

"As we shared last week, Leaf has filed the first ever lawsuit against an athlete in order to compel the completion of an autograph contract so customers holding redemptions are not forced to take replacements."

He continued:

"We hate doing this, but customers need defending here.''

The NFL feel they have a responsibility as a community to find a better way. Dallas Head coach Mike McCarthy and others also sent their condolences to those impacted by the violence and hope for change in the near future.
