Done deal: The Blockbuster deal Between Cleveland Browns and Dallas Cowboys is done
The Cleveland Browns dealt their last three first-round picks in disastrous fashion, but the tragedy of the Deshaun Watson trade renders the wagering of one more top selection in 2025 seem relatively low-risk by comparison.
Cleveland immediately threw its hat in the ring when the San Francisco 49ers gave wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk the green light to seek a trade, and trying to get in the mix for Dallas Cowboys star CeeDee Lamb now would just be a grander version of the same idea.
Lamb and the Cowboys remain locked in negotiations over a contract extension, which theoretically opens the door for the Browns to reach out to owner Jerry Jones with an offer. A deal centered around Cleveland’s first-round pick in next year’s draft, a second-round selection in 2026 and running back Nick Chubb could get a real conversation started.
That said, the Browns must consider that Lamb’s market value is $34 million annually over a four-year contract ($136 million total). But he also led the NFL in receptions last year with 135, which complemented career-highs of 1,749 yards and 12 TDs.
CeeDee Lamb’s Contract Demands Could Decrease Trade Cost for Browns
Lamb is one of the best handful of wide receivers in the league, earning All-Pro honors in each of the past two campaigns as he heads into just his age-25 season.
