CeeDee Lamb's future with the Dallas Cowboys is uncertain as the team considers committing to George Pickens as their long-term WR1.

## What's at stake for CeeDee Lamb?

The Cowboys face a significant dilemma this offseason, with George Pickens' future with the team uncertain after receiving the franchise tag.

Albert Breer, an NFL insider, discussed a different scenario entirely, claiming the Cowboys could move on from $136 million superstar CeeDee Lamb.

Breer noted that if Pickens becomes a top-of-the-food-chain receiver, the Cowboys would have a good dilemma on their hands.

## How does George Pickens factor in?

Pickens arguably outperformed Lamb when the two star receivers were healthy and lined up alongside each other, with Pickens recording 74 catches for 1,070 yards and 5 touchdowns.

Lamb hauled in 75 receptions for 1,077 yards and 3 touchdowns in the same 14 games.

## What are the implications for CeeDee Lamb's contract?

The reality is, the deal that CeeDee Lamb did in 2024, most of the guaranteed money is done after this year, with $7 million guaranteed after this year, in 2027.

Breer believes that if the Cowboys pay George Pickens at the highest level, CeeDee Lamb could make noise about his contract.

## What's next for the Dallas Cowboys?

The decision will come down to money and Pickens' growth, both on and off the field, with Breer noting that he doesn't see a scenario where CeeDee Lamb won't be on the roster in '27.

Pickens ultimately finished the 2026 season with 93 catches for 1,429 yards and 9 touchdowns, all career-highs.

According to PFSN's WR Impact metric, Pickens ranked No. 3 in 2026 behind only Los Angeles Rams superstar Puka Nacua and Seattle Seahawks superstar Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Lamb ranked No. 14 in the same metric.

The Cowboys' front office will have to make a decision on CeeDee Lamb's future soon.

And the outcome will have a significant impact on the team's roster.

But for now, Dallas fans can enjoy another season with one of the league's most talented wide-receiver duos.

CeeDee Lamb has been a great player for the Cowboys.

So his potential departure would be a significant loss.

The Cowboys will have to weigh their options carefully.
