SHOCKING NEWS: CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens LEAVE the NFL to Join Kyler Murray’s Softball Team — Are the Cowboys Turning Into a Softball Squad?

In a move that’s left fans stunned and scratching their heads, NFL stars CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens have reportedly left professional football to join Kyler Murray’s newly formed professional softball team. Yes, you read that right — two of the league’s most dynamic wide receivers are trading in their cleats for gloves and stepping into the batter’s box.

The news broke earlier today, sending shockwaves through the sports world. What started as rumors on social media has now been confirmed by sources close to the players. Apparently, the duo has been training with Murray during the offseason, and what began as a casual hobby has now taken a dramatic turn into full-blown career change.

Why Leave the NFL?

Both Lamb and Pickens have faced their share of pressure and controversy in recent months — Lamb with ongoing contract disputes in Dallas, and Pickens voicing frustrations with his role in Pittsburgh’s offense. Insiders say the two saw Murray’s softball venture as “a breath of fresh air” and a “chance to compete without the chaos of the league.”

Kyler Murray, currently quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, has long been known for his two-sport talents — famously being drafted by MLB’s Oakland Athletics before choosing football. His new softball team is said to feature other high-profile athletes and could become a headline act in a new celebrity-athlete softball league that’s currently in development.

Cowboys Turning Into a Softball Franchise?

The Dallas Cowboys organization is reportedly in disbelief over Lamb’s decision, with front-office personnel calling it “unprecedented and surreal.” Fans are equally bewildered — some angry, others amused, and a few surprisingly supportive. One comment on Twitter read, “I guess when you can’t win a Super Bowl, you might as well try to win the World Series.”

Though the “softball team” move might seem like a joke, early reports suggest this isn’t just for fun. The players involved are serious about competing — with plans for sponsorships, television deals, and full stadium exhibitions.

What’s Next?

While it’s unclear whether this marks a permanent career shift or an elaborate offseason stunt, one thing’s for sure: this is one of the strangest stories to ever hit the NFL.

Stay tuned for more updates — and don’t be surprised if you see No. 88 rounding third base in a Cowboys-themed softball jersey.
