CeeDee Lamb appears to want George Pickens to get paid.

CeeDee Lamb is a competitive player, but he knows the bottom line. And he wants to win.

These feel like fair takeaways given what Lamb said to San Antonio’s Sports Star on Wednesday. Lamb was making the rounds at Super Bowl LX Radio Row and was obviously asked about George Pickens’ contract situation. Notably Lamb said that it would not bother him if Pickens winds up making more than him.

This is always an interesting subject. Some players are keen on being the highest-paid at their position and are only comfortable when players from other teams out-pace them. You can certainly make the argument that Pickens deserves a market rate deal at the wide receiver position, and if that were to come to pass then he would certainly leapfrog what Lamb got two years ago.

Sports are full of egos and it appears in this case that Lamb is willing to set his aside. He noted at the end of his answer that if you win, obviously talking about the Cowboys as a collective, that monetary things will find their way to you.
