CeeDee Lamb thinks the Dallas Cowboys are on the verge of something great, and he wants to make sure Jerry Jones keeps it that way.
The Cowboys’ star wide receiver made clear that he wants the organization to find a way to make sure that he, George Pickens, and Dak Prescott can remain together for years to come. Pickett is playing on the franchise tag this season, and his long-term future is uncertain.
“I’m sure we can make a way,” Lamb said, via Jori Epstein of Yahoo Sports. “I know it’s going to be a little crazy, but I know we can make a way for this one. Listen, this is my advocation: ‘@ Jerry, can you please figure out a way? Let’s figure it out. I don’t care what needs to happen.'”
Pickens and the Cowboys had an opportunity to work out a long-term deal during the offseason, but never came particularly close. Dallas also has to worry about re-signing defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, while Prescott and Lamb have a combined cap number around $64 million this season. They might have to make some tough decisions in order to make all that work.
That said, Pickens is coming off a breakout season that saw him catch 93 passes for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns. His presence also made it harder for opposing defenses to double-team Lamb. It is a mutually beneficial relationship, and it makes plenty of sense that Lamb wants to ensure it continues for years to come.
