Cowboys WRs: Lamb Supports Pickens' Payday Quest

Dallas Cowboys receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens are navigating contract discussions, with Lamb expressing strong support for Pickens to secure a significant payday. Pickens, who led the team in receiving yards, catches, and touchdowns last season, was placed under the franchise tag for 2026, ensuring him $27 million for the upcoming year. He is aiming for a substantial contract in free agency in 2027, potentially exceeding Lamb's current average annual earnings of $34 million.

This situation draws parallels to the 1995 Cowboys, when Michael Irvin welcomed Deion Sanders despite his record-breaking contract. Lamb, inspired by Irvin's attitude, has stated he wants Pickens to "get all the money in the world." The two receivers have developed a close bond, traveling together during the offseason and openly admiring each other's skills. Both are crucial to the Cowboys' aspirations for success in the upcoming season, with Lamb emphasizing their continued connection and healthy play.
