FRISCO - Welcome to the Dallas Cowboys, where the idea of infighting over who gets to be in charge is dead ...
And where sharing and partnership and friendship is a blossoming concept.
For the last two seasons around here, CeeDee Lamb has been the team's No. 1 receiver and has been asked to carry a gigantic load.
A top priority for Dallas this offseason was to find Lamb "an explosive No. 2 receiver'' buddy.
And they've done it ... except that Lamb and newcomer George Pickens refuse to see it quite that way ...
Because they are talking of each of them being No. 1's.
COO Stephen Jones recently raised eyebrows when he said the Cowboys pulled the bold trade for George Pickens because they considered him as a "No. 1 receiver." But now that Lamb has finally spoken out about the deal, Jones appears to have been on the money.
Lamb and Pickens were in Scottsdale, Arizona over the weekend to play in Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray's celebrity softball game, and were in agreement on their roles for 2025.
"We both ones," Lamb said.
Echoed Pickens, "Yeah."
And now Pickens has a nickname for the pairing ...
Pickens has shared a screenshot of the two on his Instagram story with the caption, “Goodfellas .”
We will work on the assumption that Pickens has some knowledge of the Martin Scorsese classic gangster film "Goodfellas'' (and if so, good taste!)
Lamb is a four-time Pro Bowl selection who two years ago produced the best receiving season in Cowboys' history with 135 catches for 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns. Pickens has only 12 touchdowns in his three seasons, but in 2023 led the league in yards per reception at more than 18 yards.
Still ...
"It ain't no A/B, none of that," Lamb said. "You look over there, you see 1. You look over here, you see another 1. So do what you got to do with that."
Quarterback Dak Prescott will still likely look to Lamb in crunch time. Or he'll look at both. And if the buddy vibes continue and result in production?
"Goodfellas'' will stick.
