'Hello, Jerry?' Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb Pushes to Sign 'More Weapons’

CeeDee Lamb, the Dallas Cowboys' top aerial target reflected upon what the team can use to improve in 2023.

By the time Super Bowl Week and Radio Row came to a close, CeeDee Lamb had said it seemingly dozens of times: He wants help. He wants signings. He wants trades.

He wants his Dallas Cowboys management to add "weapons.''

The top receiver in North Texas got to play the offensive hero one more time on Sunday, catching the game-winning touchdown for the NFC side in the first flag football edition of the Pro Bowl Games in Las Vegas. Before his exhibition heroics, Lamb discussed how he'd like to see the Cowboys look once pads go back on.

Simply put, he made a thinly veiled request for owner Jerry Jones to open his cap-related checkbook once the offseason begins.

"We've just got to, of course, add more weapons," Lamb told Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. "I feel like, in that situation, you can always be better. There's never enough, you can never have enough ammo.''

While Lamb proved more than capable of handling the top target duties in Dallas this past season (to the tune of 1,359 yards on 107 receptions), the Cowboys may have to turn to the free agency and draft fronts to surround Lamb with further assistance: the next two leading receivers on the team, Dalton Schultz (577) and Noah Brown (555) are destined to hit free agency this offseason.

Dallas stood relatively pat in finding a replacement for Cooper, a stark contrast to the offseason affairs of their NFC East rivals in Philadelphia: the Eagles traded with Tennessee for star receiver A.J. Brown after striking out on 2020 first-round choice Jalen Reagor and has reaped in the benefits, as the former Titan hauled in a career-best 1,496 yards en route to Super Bowl LVIII this Sunday (5:30 p.m. CT, Fox).

Management will likely have to make some cost-cutting and money-shifting  moves to fulfill Lamb's requests: as it stands, Dallas is currently just over $7 million over the cap as the official start of the offseason looms after the Eagles' championship tilt with the Kansas City Chiefs.

At which point … maybe the Cowboys’ chase for “weapons” is on.
