CeeDee Lamb is fine if George Pickens surpasses his contract

"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."

CeeDee Lamb is a competitive player who prioritizes winning and accepts another receiver earning a higher salary without resentment. Lamb's stance indicates that George Pickens making more than him would not be a problem. Some players prioritize being the highest-paid at their position and feel uncomfortable when peers out-earn them. Pickens can be argued to deserve a market-rate deal that could surpass Lamb's contract from two years earlier. Lamb appears willing to set aside personal ego and believes team success will ultimately lead to financial rewards.
