CeeDee Lamb Urges Cowboys to Add Edge Rusher After 2025 Defensive Collapse

The star receiver frames quarterback pressure as Dallas’ clearest offseason fix.

Overview

  • Lamb told The Rich Eisen Show the roster’s priority is a pass rusher who can consistently get to the quarterback.
  • Dallas allowed 511 points in 2025, finishing last in points allowed and near the bottom across major defensive categories.
  • The Cowboys averaged 2.1 sacks per game to rank 22nd, with opponents completing 56.66% of passes, underscoring a lack of pressure.
  • After firing Matt Eberflus on Jan. 6, Dallas hired 34-year-old Christian Parker as defensive coordinator to reset the unit.
  • Lamb called the Micah Parsons trade a win for both sides, noting Parsons’ payday in Green Bay and Dallas’ additions such as Kenny Clark and Quinnen Williams to bolster the run defense.
