Possible trade idea involving Lamb

[Mac_MaloneV1]

Which is why if they even thought about trading Lamb for picks, then they should have moved other guys including Dak.

Because trading Lamb just screams rebuild. Which is why it would never happen. Jerry can't stomach a complete rebuild.

Correct. It also would have been done before the draft.

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.

Sorry Rusty, but no way am I giving up generational talent like CD for a 1st and 3rd, those picks could equate to absolutely nothing.
When you actually find talent especially this team, you better keep it.

wow

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

A 1st for CD is a horrible return what?

 

[gimmesix]

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.

I figure Lawrence will be gone both because of age and what he'll be seeking in a new deal. I don't think we drafted Kneeland directly to be his replacement, but rather because we needed more DE help, but I think it will work out that way ... and we'll be adding another contributing end next year because we still don't know how much Williams can contribute.

 

[Thomas82]

I would rather just keep CeeDee.

 

[RonWashington]

The Broadus Belt show predicted out of the young players to get signed now and in the near future DaRon Bland would be the odd man out . Now if Carson progresses I would agree with this particularly with Diggs already signed .

As far as Lamb goes I see no way Jones lets 88 go . He will resign before the 24 season kicks off . Parsons next off season and then Tyier Smith will be the highly paid star of the OL .

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I have no doubt that Jerry and Stephen have no real intention of signing CeeDee right now. I think they'd love to have him at their price, but they aren't worried. They know that CeeDee will come back soon to collect the check. They will use the franchise tag on him next season. That is where we will see Micah hold out of camp. The Cowboys will do the same song and dance with him. I feel Dak is in his last season.

If they don't plan on giving Lamb a market deal, then trade him.

Well yeah, and that's kinda why I was thinking it might be more prudent to trade Lamb.

If Carson ends up being really good this season, then trading Bland might be a good idea. Especially since we should get at least a 2 for him. Maybe even a 1.

True, but if we could trade him for a 1,2 3, Bateman, and a 5 (that becomes a 4 based on certain conditions) this year and a 2 and a 4 next year, would you consider it?

Is Lawrence in a contract year?

 

[rambo2]

Especially if it's a bunch of firsts. I would like to keep Parsons, but I'd have no problem with them shopping him and getting a massive haul for him.

Two 1s and a 2 would be good.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

CD is easily a top 3 WR, forgot top 5. Some even say top 2 or 1. You don’t trade that without getting multiple picks. But why trade because like most say that first is not going to be high. It would be a no for me dawg!

 

[gimmesix]

Is Lawrence in a contract year?

Yep, at age 32.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Two 1s and a 2 would be good.

That'd be nice.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Yep, at age 32.

Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, he's probably going to be a FA.

Trade the best WR in football for a high 25-30 pick and a mid tier dude. No thanks

Yeah, it'll probably need a lot more picks than that.

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

Yeah, it'll probably need a lot more picks than that.

It would take more than Aiyuk will get and he is also getting a new contract.
