FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys gave CeeDee Lamb the No. 88 for a reason.
They better be right.
With the Cowboys agreeing to trade wide receiver Amari Cooper to the Cleveland Browns, Lamb, their first-round pick in 2020, ascends to the clear-cut No. 1 receiver role. By trading Cooper, the Cowboys open up $16 million in cap room.
No. 88 is sacred in Dallas history. Maybe not as sacred as No. 12 for Cowboys legend Roger Staubach or maybe even No. 8 for three-time Super Bowl champ Troy Aikman.
