Despite failing to reach the NFL Playoffs, the Dallas Cowboys still had one of the most potent offenses in the entire league during the 2025 regular season.
One of the key drivers of Dallas’ high-powered offense was the combination and duo of George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb at the wide receiver position.

So, it wouldn’t be a shock for Cowboys fans to hope that Jerry Jones and the team’s front office will do everything they can to reach a deal that will see Pickens return to Dallas next year.

And it looks like Lamb, for his part, could also be willing to do whatever it takes.
CeeDee could be happy to take one for the team
The former Oklahoma Sooners star was being interviewed on the “Dan Patrick Show” when he was asked if Pickens will be suiting up for the Cowboys in the 2026 campaign.
CeeDee Lamb says he’s open to restructuring his contract in order to bring George Pickens back to the #Cowboys.

“He has no choice, I say that. This is my opinion,” Lamb said.
Patrick then followed up and asked Lamb if he would go as far as restructuring his own contract to ensure Pickens remains with the Dallas franchise.
“I mean if it’s necessary, honestly. I’m pretty good but I know he’s gonna get every penny that he deserves here in Dallas,” Lamb replied.

During the interview, Lamb also spoke about the Cowboys not being that far away from making a Super Bowl run of their own.
“I feel like we’re very close. We just gotta put the pieces together right,” he said.
Overall, the odds of Dallas playing in a Super Bowl are probably more likely if Pickens were to remain with the side.
