Possible trade idea involving Lamb

So, I was chatting with a friend of mine who is a Ravens fan. He and I came up with a possible trade idea involving Lamb. I was wondering what you all would think?

So, as we were discussing what we thought of the NFL landscape, I mentioned that we probably aren't going to be able to keep Dak, Lamb, and Parsons. As far as I know, the Ravens have a solid amount of cap space. So, I mentioned that, especially with CeeDee holding out, there may be a way to trade him. So, what he and I thought of was this for a couple of scenarios for trading him to Baltimore. It should be noted that this would be a trade of him outside the conference, so it shouldn't cause too much harm to us (even though we do play Baltimore this year):

  1. The Cowboys trade Lamb for a 1st and a 3rd. This gives the Cowboys a couple extra picks. The Ravens would have to resign him, but they should have the cap space to do that. Plus, Lamar would then have the options of throwing to Lamb, Flowers, Agholor, Bateman, or Mark Andrews with Derrick Henry out of the backfield. This gives them all the talent they should need to beat Kansas City. Meanwhile, the Cowboys would have an extra first to potentially draft a replacement for Lamb and an extra pick for whatever we want to do with it.
  2. The Cowboys trade Lamb for a 1st and Rashod Bateman. Bateman is on the last year of his contract, but he'd be a nice addition in a combination with Cooks and Tolbert. Plus, he shouldn't be too much for the Cowboys to extend if he were to want to remain here. Or, if we let him walk, we would get a comp pick (likely a 3rd) when someone else resigns him. So, in essence, it'd be a 1st and a 3rd the following draft.
Either way, both options would benefit the Cowboys and the Ravens if the Cowboys and Ravens were to come to such an agreement. CeeDee Lamb is worth at least a first in a trade. They'd be able to resign him, and Lamar would probably push their FO to get Lamb. They'd have the talent to get past the Chiefs as they're much closer to a championship than we are. We would have an extra pick and maybe a player in return to help expedite our rebuild. In essence, since we would then have 2 first round picks (plus maybe an extra pick or player). Depending on what we do at QB, we would either have the opportunity to draft a QB (if we let Dak walk) and a WR, trade up for a top QB (if we let Dak walk), or (if Dak stays) draft an olineman and a WR.

Basically, since we draft well, the Cowboys would be able to rebuild more quickly (especially with our defence sounding good in TC), while the Ravens would be getting a piece they'd need. I think it's a win-win. Plus, it makes the Cowboys a more likely contender in the near future with the extra draft capital, which benefits what we do well.
The Cowboys aren't trading Lamb. They are actually trying to win and trading him doesn't fit their agenda.

i don't think we are getting back enough. tyrek hill went in 22 for a 1st, 2nd, two 4ths and a 6th.

davonte adams went for a 1st and 2nd.

it'd be interesting to see what browns and pats are offering for ayiuk.
Agreed, would not take the 1st and 3rd deal.

It's more that I'm not sure we get any of them signed. I'd rather get something for Lamb if we can't resign him than let him walk. I think Baltimore is the right place for such a trade, and getting another first would be nice.
I think you're prematurely concerned. When dealing with these big-money deals, this is all part of the process. Players and their agents are shooting for the moon while the team is trying to land them for as low as possible. It can take a while for the details to be worked out.

And honestly, the front office is not all that concerned about it. Lamb missing two, three, four weeks of camp is just an opportunity for other receivers to get more first-team work and less opportunity for Lamb to get injured. I truly doubt the team will worry about Micah's contract until next offseason when we'll probably go through this whole process again. Both Dak and Lamb are in negotiations and rarely does the team not come to an agreement when negotiations are started.

Hell, give me Madubuike in the deal. Would be up to trading CDL for a package for Justin lol
That's about the only way it would be worthwhile: Madubuike and the fill-in receiver. In fact, if they offered me the DT straight up, I'd go for it in a heartbeat because No. 1 receivers are easier to find than game-changing DTs. Of course, the Ravens know that as well.

So you get rid of one of the top young receivers in the NFL for a first-round pick that could be near the bottom of the round and might not net you nearly the same level of talent?

Dallas will re-sign Lamb, Dak and Parsons. It's just a matter of time.
It’s going to be very difficult to re-sign all three. I don’t see the Cowboys trading CeeDee especially considering Dak may want to test free agency. The Cowboys would be lucky to win 5-6 games in 2025 without Dak and CeeDee. DLaw could also be gone after the 2024 season. We would likely be a cellar dweller in the NFC East for quite some time with the loss of those players.

Bateman has had few catches in his career than Lamb had last year. He hasnt even proven he is a starting caliber WR in the NFL. He might never be more than a mediocre #3

If we did this trade, we might have the worst WR corps in the NFL

At worse, Cee Dee is a top-5 receiver and entering his prime. No way I am trading him. Between him, Dak, and Parsons, CD is the one I would break the bank for.

The Cowboys would be a better team if they traded off their homegrown star players when it was advantageous... but they'll never be that way with Jerry around. It's a business thing plus Jerry thinks keeping them around highlights his "NFL" credentials.

If we trade Lamb throw the season away with the trade

I'd rather keep Lamb and trade Parsons. I think you could get more for Micah and despite CD's holdout I like him more as a person.

Regardless, a first and third for Lamb seems very lowball. Same with the other proposal, due to the guy being in the last year of his contact so it would be like having resign a 3rd round pick after one year.

I think that they might consider trading Parsons after the season. That would give them draft capital that they could use for several players and maybe even a qb for the future.

Lol, sounds like you don't like having a good team.
I’m ready for change of any kind at this point. 9 years of the same same I’m willing to roll the dice. You are content with the same Captain at the helm?
