This article will not argue how much, or when CeeDee Lamb will get paid by the Dallas Cowboys. Instead, I would like to point out how when he is extended it’s only a matter of time before he climbs the top of this list. Not only will he become the highest-paid WR in the NFL, but his trajectory is set to create history as the greatest WR in Dallas Cowboys history.

During my 132-Day Historical Countdown, I shared the all-time receptions leader is still Jason Witten with 1,215 catches through 16 seasons. Lamb is ranked 7th on that list with 395 receptions inside just 4 seasons. That is a total of 820 receptions between himself and Witten.

On the flip side, what good are reception yards without a touchdown too? Dez Bryant is the all-time TD receptions leader for the Dallas Cowboys with 73. Edging out Hall of Famers Bob Hayes (71) and Michael Irvin (65). Bryant suited up for the Cowboys for only 8 seasons before retiring with Baltimore in 2020.

Lamb currently has 32 touchdowns in the air and 3 on the ground. That’s an 8 touchdown a season…
