This week has proven evident of the momentum-building mindset the Dallas Cowboys have taken into this free-agency.
The Osa Odighizuwa deal is done … Micah Parsons negotiations are underway … The front office has conducted numerous prospect meetings ahead of the NFL Draft… One glaring area that still needs firm addressing is the wide receiver room.
Cowboys BREAKING As Osa Signs Massive Contract This week has been filled with receiver chatter from free-agency and the Draft, with the latest quote being from Cowboys wideout CeeDee Lamb.
Dallas is adamant about finding a formidable running mate for Lamb on the outside, and there are plenty of options. Reports have thrown out free-agency names like Los Angeles’ Cooper Kupp, Houston’s Stefon Diggs, Seattle’s DK Metcalf, and even newly-cut Davante Adams as potential suitors for the Cowboys.
However, this Draft’s receiver class is DEEP, featuring multiple names that have the attention of Lamb.
“I like a lot of them actually,” Lamb said in an interview with RG.org. “There’s a bunch of pieces that stood out. I like T-Mac [McMillan] from Arizona for one. I like Luther [Burden III] from Missouri. The list could go on. I like Emeka [Egbuka] from Ohio State and Tez Johnson [from Oregon].”

Dallas is up at No. 12 in Round 1 and No. 44 in Round 2. Lamb, who understands the process of adding depth to the roster, isn’t worried about any rumors related to how the pieces fit.
“[I’m] just looking for a great compliment,” says Lamb. “I’m not really pressed about having whoever. It doesn’t matter, as long as you come here ready to work.”
Choosing to draft a young receiver rather than chase one in free-agency may also serve as a leadership opportunity for the 25-year-old Lamb.
“I’m excited to teach you, excited to work and just gradually gravitate towards instilling you in this offense. It’s gonna be fun with whoever.” he said.
Cowboys Create Massive Cap Room With CeeDee Lamb Contract Move After recent developments that have flexed the budget for Dallas, a “great compliment” at receiver can now easily be found in either free-agency or the NFL Draft.
If the Cowboys choose the latter, they may look to Lamb’s prospect wish-list for guidance.
