When the Cowboys traded away Amari Cooper in the offseason, it was the team’s way of announcing that CeeDee Lamb would be their new number one receiver. The front office then doubled down on this notion by straight up confirming that they’d be building the offense around Lamb.
The idea itself wasn’t preposterous or unexpected. That’s the trajectory the Cowboys have been on since they drafted Lamb in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. And Lamb’s play since being drafted has always hinted at that kind of potential for him, too.
This week, though, the Cowboys will be playing the Minnesota Vikings.
