Cowboys offense is one CeeDee Lamb injury away from disaster

One CeeDee Lamb Injury Away

The Cowboys have yet to sign a running back to replace Tony Pollard, who left for the Tennessee Titans on the first day of free agency.

I am sure they will end up drafting one, but that isn't enough.

With that being said, this is the main point of this post.

The Dallas Cowboys are ONE injury away from CeeDee Lamb, and this offense will turn into a disaster.

Brandin Cooks is not a No. 1 guy anymore. Michael Gallup looks to be on the way out the door, the team has permitted him to seek a trade, and if they don't find one to take his contract he will be a post-June-1 cut.

He finished the season with 135 catches, 1,749 yards, 12 receiving touchdowns, and two rushing touchdowns.

Lamb's 135 receptions are the fifth-most in a single season, and his 1,749 yards ranks him seventh all-time.

Lamb did break the single season record for catches and yards in a single season in 2023. It was held by the Playmaker, Michael Irvin since the mid 90s.

CeeDee is expected to get a new contract from Dallas, and it is going to be huge, yet if he goes down at any point in the 2024 season, this offense is done for.

Drafting Isn't Enough

Drafting another wide receiver at some point this draft is not going to help them.

Plenty of free agents were out there to be had, and they have made a move on ONE player.

They have no running game. They will need to draft two offensive linemen to replace Tyron Smith and Tyler Biadasz. The first is likely to come with their 24th overall pick, and then maybe another in the 3rd or 4th round.

Regardless of competition, Dak Prescott played like an MVP for most of the season, and even got a vote, yet that was much to the help of Lamb.

Both the offense and the defense was not good against above average teams, including the playoffs.

Jalen Tolbert out snapped Gallup in like three games in 2023, but he isn't enough to help change a game.

I am still holding out hope that this team is going to try and do what they did a year ago, and trade for another guy like Cooks.

The Eagles got better, the Commanders got better, and what did the Cowboys do? Got worse.

The Jones family has and always be the problem at the star. They have done nothing to make this team better after claiming to be “all-in,” in 2024.

They lost Pollard, Biadasz, Dorance Armstrong, Dante Folwer and Neville Gallimore. Others I am sure are to follow.

This team has me so checked out right now that I had to start thinking about what this offense would look like if they lost Lamb to injury in 2024.

This team is about to turn into a total disaster on offense if something happens to Lamb. If this team wanted to go into a full rebuild, I wish they would have started by not keeping Mike McCarthy.
