Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb returned to the Dallas Cowboys this week after signing a contract extension. The Cowboys will get their best offensive weapon back just in time for their Week 1 game against the Cleveland Browns.
While Lamb is seen as an integral part of the Dallas offense, there is one NFL analyst who thinks otherwise. Former NFL general manager-turned-ESPN analyst Mike Tannenbaum said on Friday’s episode of ESPN’s “Get Up” that he sees Dallas making major moves next season.
Tannenbaum sees Dallas trading wide receiver CeeDee Lamb to move up in the draft to select Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders. He also referred to Lamb as “expendable.”
Cowboys cornerback Jourdan Lewis reshared the post on X and expressed his disdain for analysts sharing their takes.
“I can’t emphasize enough how much I can’t stand you mfs.”
CeeDee Lamb wasn’t the only Cowboy that Mike Tannenbaum discussed. The former NFL general manager also believes Dallas will move on from Dak Prescott this offseason and let him leave in free agency.
Although Dallas Cowboys team owner Jerry Jones has expressed his desire to retain Prescott for the future, Tannenbaum believes otherwise. There is still an entire college football and NFL season to play and a lot can happen between now and the 2025 NFL draft.
CeeDee Lamb’s contract details
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb held out of training camp this summer as he patiently waited for a contract extension. His patience paid off, literally, as he became one of the highest-paid players in the NFL.
Lamb signed a four-year contract extension worth $136 million, so the wide receiver will now be under contract through the 2028 NFL season. Lamb will now make on average $34 million a season, which puts him as the second-highest-paid receiver behind the Minnesota Vikings’ Justin Jefferson. Lamb’s deal also included a signing bonus of $38 million.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will now get his favorite target back. Since being drafted 17th overall in 2020, Lamb has accumulated 5,145 receiving yards and 35 total touchdowns, which includes three consecutive seasons of at least 1,100 receiving yards.
The three-time Pro Bowl selection and First Team All-Pro in 2023 will now remain with his team and try to help them win their first Super Bowl since 1996.
