Cowboys Were Forced to Accept 4 Trade Packages for CeeDee Lamb Despite NFL Holdout

 

On the brink of the option year to wrap up his rookie contract with the Dallas Cowboys, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is officially a holdout.

 

 

The 25-year-old All-Pro reportedly did not appear at the start of the team’s mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, causing many to wonder if his days might be numbered within an organization that is already significantly on the hook for quarterback Dak Prescott’s upcoming walk year.

 

 

That remains far-fetched, but wilder things happen in this league every year.

With that in mind, let’s look at a handful of hypothetical offers the Cowboys would have difficulty turning down.

 

 

New England Patriots: WR Ja’Lynn Polk and a 1st-Round Pick

 

 

The Patriots just used a high second-round pick on Polk, who scored nine touchdowns last season at Washington. But if they see an opportunity to upgrade massively in support of rookie Drake Maye, a quick flip could be in the cards.

 

Of course, they’d have to throw in a first-round pick because elite receivers are such hot commodities right now. Tyreek Hill commanded a first, a second, two fourths and a sixth pick before also getting his bag from the Dolphins two years ago. This shouldn’t be far off of that.

 

 

This deal would allow Dallas raise a bunch of salary-cap space and draft capital while still landing a high-ceiling receiver, with the bonus of Lamb leaving the conference and joining a non-contender.
