CeeDee Lamb has firmly dismissed the rumors surrounding Micah Parsons’ future with the Dallas Cowboys, ensuring fans that Parsons will remain with the team. During an interview with DJ Siddiqi on Sports Lens, while representing BodyArmor, Lamb confidently declared, “We’re definitely gonna retire together,” referring to his close bond with Parsons. Lamb’s statement put to rest any speculation about Parsons possibly leaving the Cowboys.
Lamb’s confidence in Parsons’ future is unwavering, especially with the defensive star nearing a potential mega-extension as he enters the fifth year of his rookie contract. “That’s my guy — I got him, he’s got me. And I’ll never doubt it,” Lamb added, emphasizing their strong relationship. Despite the challenges ahead, Lamb remains certain that Parsons will stay with the team.
The wide receiver acknowledged that the situation may get complicated, with the negotiations and outside noise growing louder, but he believes in Parsons’ worth. Lamb has earned recognition as one of the NFL’s premier receivers, and his confidence in his teammate and friend is clear. He made it clear that while things may get difficult, their bond will withstand any obstacles.
In addition to discussing Parsons, Lamb also shared his thoughts on new Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer. Schottenheimer, who took over after the departure of Mike McCarthy and a disappointing 7-10 season, has brought fresh energy to the team. Lamb expressed his excitement about Schottenheimer’s high energy and hands-on coaching style.
Lamb particularly appreciated Schottenheimer’s approach to coaching, describing him as someone who is fully involved with the team. “As much as your coach is involved in the team and understanding, the more we can connect, talk, and be on the same page,” Lamb explained. He felt that Schottenheimer’s presence and engagement were vital for the team’s success and chemistry.
The 25-year-old receiver’s enthusiasm for the new head coach was evident. Lamb described Schottenheimer as the type of coach who celebrates big plays alongside the players, making him a “player’s coach.” Lamb’s positive outlook suggests that Schottenheimer’s leadership will have a significant impact on the team’s culture and performance in the coming seasons.
Lamb has been proactive in building a strong relationship with Schottenheimer, frequently visiting the team facility during the offseason. He expressed that he and Schottenheimer have had great conversations, further strengthening their connection. Lamb’s willingness to engage with the new coach signals his commitment to the team’s success under Schottenheimer’s guidance.
Looking ahead, Lamb is excited for the future and the potential of the Cowboys’ offense under Schottenheimer’s leadership. “It should be fun. Can’t wait,” Lamb concluded, indicating that he’s eager to see what the next season holds for the team. With Parsons staying put and Schottenheimer at the helm, Lamb is optimistic about the Cowboys’ prospects.
