The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0made a splash with the addition of wide receiver George Pickens, and everyone is now excited about what the team can accomplish during the 2025\u00a0NFL\u00a0season.<\/p>\n

Dallas gave up a 2026 third-round pick in the\u00a0NFL Draft\u00a0and a 2027 fifth-round selection to the\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers\u00a0for Pickens and a 2026 sixth-rounder.<\/p>\n

One player who fans have been waiting to hear from following the trade was Cowboys superstar CeeDee Lamb.<\/p>\n

Lamb shared a cryptic message on social media about “ego” which many took as a comment about his excitement to have Pickens join the team.<\/p>\n

“Kid you not; can\u2019t express it enough.\u00a0It\u2019s no ego here,” Lamb wrote on X.<\/p>\n

Critics of the Pickens trade point to his alleged immaturity and alleged locker room distractions, but that doesn’t appear to be worrying Lamb.<\/p>\n

As long as the two players are on the same page, everyone is going to feast.<\/p>\n

Last season, Lamb hauled in 101 catches for 1,194 yards and six touchdowns despite playing in only 15 games. It was Lamb’s third straight season with more than 100 receptions and his fourth straight year with more than 1,000 receiving yards.<\/p>\n

With Pickens joining the offense and providing a legitimate deep threat, it’s going to be exciting to see how everyone can perform with the offense opened up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
