The Dallas Cowboys and the Los Angeles Chargers both underachieved last season. Dallas finished with a 12-5 record and was bounced in the first of the playoffs by the Green Bay Packers. As for the Chargers, they missed the playoffs entirely.
The Chargers fired Brandon Staley as head coach during the middle of last season. They hired Jim Harbaugh as head coach this offseason. Harbaugh hopes to change the culture of the Chargers.

As for the Dallas Cowboys, it seems as if Mike McCarthy is on the hot seat every single year. Dallas is one of the betting favorites to win the Super Bowl this season.
Bleacher Report Suggests That the Dallas Cowboys Trade Wide Receiver CeeDee Lamb to the Los Angeles Chargers

Lamb has yet to report to the Cowboys. Mandatory mini camp for some teams already started and some will be next week. Training camp is next month and CeeDee Lamb is looking for a new contract. If they don’t give him one before the season starts, it will be interesting to see what happens.
Lamb is looking for a contract similar to what Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson got. He received a four-year deal worth $140 million and he also got $110 million of it guaranteed.
Bleacher Report suggests that the Dallas Cowboys should trade wide receiver CeeDee Lamb to the Los Angeles Chargers for Ladd McConkey and a first-round pick. Brad Gagnon of Bleacher Report said:
“Same principle as above, with another high second-round rookie jumping quickly to another team, as the Cowboys get Lamb out of the division.
In this case, it would be a chance for Jim Harbaugh and Co. to maximize their support for Justin Herbert at a critical juncture of his career. And like New England, the Los Angeles Chargers have the cap space while also not being considered a primary contender.
Dallas would struggle to turn down the immediate cap savings and the significant 2025 draft capital influx, especially with a bright young receiver in Ladd McConkey coming back to try to strike gold with Dak Prescott.”
The Los Angeles Chargers would need to sign CeeDee Lamb to a contract extension. After losing Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, CeeDee Lamb would be the number one wide receiver for quarterback Justin Herbert.
Lamb last season with the Cowboys caught 135 passes for 1,749 yards receiving, and 12 touchdowns. He averaged 13.0 yards per catch. CeeDee Lamb also rushed for 113 yards on 14 carries and scored two touchdowns. He averaged 8.1 yards per carry.
McConkey was a second-round pick by the Chargers out of Georgia. In nine games last season with the Georgia Bulldogs, he caught 30 passes for 478 yards receiving and two touchdowns, along with averaging 15.9 yards per reception.

It would be a very weird trade for the Dallas Cowboys to make. It could also make sense for the Los Angeles Chargers, but why would they want to take on another potentially hefty contract? The Chargers should stay status quo.
