Trade Talks Heat Up: Cowboys Weighing Options with Star Receiver CeeDee Lamb.
Cowboys fans may need to brace themselves for the potential departure of star receiver CeeDee Lamb. While it would certainly stir up emotions, the front office might see more value in trading Lamb for multiple draft picks rather than risking losing him in free agency.
This scenario becomes more plausible if the season doesn’t unfold as planned for the Cowboys. If the team isn’t on track for a successful season and Lamb remains unsigned, exploring trade options could be a strategic move.
However, trading Lamb mid-season doesn’t necessarily mean saying goodbye for good. The Cowboys and Lamb have a strong relationship, as emphasized by Lamb himself during this off-season. If traded, Dallas could secure a significant draft pick haul and still have the opportunity to pursue Lamb heavily in free agency if he doesn’t sign an extension with his new team.
While this scenario might seem like a pie-in-the-sky dream, it’s not unheard of for players to return to their former teams after being traded in a contract year. Ideally, the Cowboys would prioritize extending Lamb as soon as possible to secure his long-term future with the team.
