CeeDee Lamb on Cowboys Potentially Adding Receiver Through NFL Draft: “Just Looking For a Great Complement” – RG.org
CeeDee Lamb weighs in on some of the receivers in the draft.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is high on several receivers in this year’s NFL Draft.
The Cowboys hold the No. 12 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and while they have a number of positions that they can fill, wide receiver seems to be the most pressing. Outside of Lamb, Dallas lacks proven viable receivers with veteran Brandin Cooks entering free agency. Jalen Tolbert is the next-best receiver flanked by a bunch of unprovens at the position.
Lamb recognizes the talent in this draft, mentioning names such as Arizona Wildcats wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan – a Consensus All-American in 2024 – and Ohio State’s Emeka Egbuka, who is known for elite straight-line speed.
“I like a lot of them actually,” says Lamb in a one-on-one interview with RG on behalf of BodyArmor when asked about this year’s draft prospects. “There’s a bunch of pieces that stood out. I like T-Mac [McMillan] from Arizona for one. I like Luther [Burden III] from Missouri. The list could go on. I like Emeka from Ohio State and Tez Johnson [from Oregon].”
The 25-year-old Lamb is known for being elusive and powerful after the catch and has superb route-running skills. When asked if there’s any receiver that reminds him most of him from this draft, he says he doesn’t focus on that trait – he focuses on what makes them great.
“Not necessarily,” says Lamb when asked if there’s a receiver that reminds him of his style of play.
Cowboys, DT Osa Odighizuwa reach 4-year $80M deal – ESPN, Todd Archer
The Cowboys are making early moves this year.
With free agency closing in and the deadline to use the franchise tag coming Tuesday, the Dallas Cowboys were able to keep one of their own off the market, agreeing to a four-year, $80 million deal with defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa.
The deal includes $58 million guaranteed and a $20 million signing bonus, Odighizuwa’s agent, Sam Leaf Ireifej, told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Odighizuwa’s salary-cap number in 2025 will be $6.25 million.
The Cowboys had discussions with Odighizuwa’s agent over the past few weeks and were able to reach a deal before Odighizuwa could hit the open market as well as avoid using the franchise tag.

The Cowboys have a number of defensive players set to hit free agency in Lawrence, cornerback Jourdan Lewis, defensive end Chauncey Golston and linebacker Eric Kendricks. The club met with their agents during the combine to see if more deals can be made. So far, Odighizuwa is the only one to come to fruition.

Odighizuwa is thrilled to be back with the Cowboys.
Speaking only minutes after putting pen to paper on his new multi-year deal, flanked by his agent and his mother, Odighizuwa was wearing the biggest possible smile on his big day.
“It’s awesome, you know what I mean?” said the former UCLA star turned cornerstone player for teh Cowboys. “I love Dallas, love playing for this organization, love being a Cowboy — so the fact that I get to do it for another four years, and I get a very, very large pay increase to do it.
“It’s not that I wasn’t already happy doing the work, but I’m just going to have an even bigger smile on my face when I come to the building [everyday].”

“I feel like it just speaks to the hard work that’s paid off consistently, working in day and day out, and just making those deposits finally paying off,” he said, pausing for a moment to try and absorb the magnitude of the moment. “I can now look at my mom and be like, ‘You never have to work again.’
“That’s really what this has all been about, you know? So being able to do that, man, it’s still kind of registering. It doesn’t even feel real at this point. I’m just kind of soaking it in.”
Cowboys K Brandon Aubrey undergoes shoulder surgery – Charean Williams, PFT
Cowboys’ stud kicker had a surgery, but nothing to do with his leg.
Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey underwent minor shoulder surgery, Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News reports.
He will be ready for the offseason program.
In two seasons, Aubrey has made two Pro Bowls and was first-team All-Pro and second-team All-Pro.
He has made 89.4 percent of his field goals, including 24-of-27 from 50 yards or longer with a long of 65.
Entering the final year of a three-year contract, Aubrey is in line for a record-setting extension for his position. Three kickers have contracts that average at least $6 million a season, with Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker’s $6.4 million average at the top.
