Dallas Cowboys Send CeeDee Lamb to the Green Bay Packers for 2 Young Wide Receivers in Insane Trade Prediction
The Dallas Cowboys are entering what may very well be a make-or-break year for the franchise. Head coach Mike McCarthy, following a first-round loss to the Green Bay Packers in the NFL Playoffs, has a 1-3 postseason record since being hired. As a result, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones declined to offer him a contract extension. As 2024 is the final year of McCarthy’s current deal, it could be his last in Dallas if the team does not meet expectations.
Additionally, the Cowboys are facing tough contract decisions. Three of their star players, quarterback Dak Prescott, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, and linebacker Micah Parsons are all up for significant pay raises and contract extensions. One of those three, Lamb, has been absent from team activities this offseason as he awaits his new deal.
With little ground being made between Lamb and Dallas, there is speculation that the team could trade him yet this offseason.
The Dallas Cowboys Trade CeeDee Lamb to the Green Bay Packers for Christian Watson and Dontayvion Wicks (Proposal)
Obviously, if the Cowboys are going to trade Lamb, they need a package in return that will still allow them to compete in 2024. Trading away their best wide receiver would be a huge blow to an offense that also lacks a good run game, so it would make sense if they got at least one promising pass catcher in return.
Paul Silano of Give Me Sport suggests that Dallas could get two promising wide receivers in return if they traded Lamb to the Packers:
In this trade, the Cowboys would receive Watson, Wicks, and the Packers’ first round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Watson is finally healthy after a couple years of hamstring injuries. Wicks has drawn comparisons to Las Vegas Raiders star Davante Adams, and could develop into a top-tier wide receiver.
