CeeDee Lamb’s Open Letter to the NFL on His Retirement
To My NFL Family, Fans, and Everyone Who Has Supported Me,
Today, with a heart full of gratitude and reflection, I am announcing my retirement from the National Football League. This decision was not made lightly, but after deep consideration, I know it is the right time for me to step away from the game I love.
From the moment I first stepped onto the field, my dream was to play at the highest level. The journey has been nothing short of incredible—filled with challenges, triumphs, and unforgettable moments. I have had the honor of competing alongside some of the greatest athletes in the world, representing the Dallas Cowboys with pride, and building lifelong friendships that extend far beyond the field.
To my teammates, thank you for pushing me to be my best every day. The brotherhood we built is something I will cherish forever. To my coaches and mentors, your guidance has shaped not only my career but also the person I am today. To the fans, your unwavering support and passion have fueled me through every game, every catch, and every touchdown. You have made this journey more special than I could have ever imagined.
Football has given me everything, and now, it’s time for me to step into the next chapter of my life. While I may no longer be wearing a jersey on Sundays, my love for the game will never fade. I look forward to giving back to the sport and inspiring the next generation in new ways.
Thank you, NFL. Thank you, Cowboys Nation. This is not goodbye—it’s just the beginning of a new journey.
With gratitude,
**CeeDee Lamb**
