u/alex •
The Dallas Cowboys have acquired wide receiver Jonathan Mingo from the Carolina Panthers, adding depth to their receiving corps.
Why it matters: The trade provides the Cowboys with additional options at the wide receiver position and strengthens their roster heading into the season.
- Mingo, a second-round pick in 2023, brings potential and youth to the Cowboys' offense.
- He adds competition to the wide receiver depth chart and could push for playing time.
What's new: The Cowboys traded a 2025 fourth-round pick to the Panthers in exchange for Mingo and a 2025 seventh-round pick.
Yes, but: Mingo's production has been limited so far in his career.
- He has recorded only 12 receptions for 121 yards this season and has struggled to emerge as a consistent playmaker.
What to watch: Mingo will have the opportunity to prove himself with the Cowboys and could benefit from playing alongside talented receivers like CeeDee Lamb and Amari Cooper.
What's next: The Cowboys will integrate Mingo into their offensive system and evaluate his performance during training camp and preseason games.
-
Jerry Jones, Cowboys owner and general manager, expressed confidence in Mingo's abilities and highlighted his potential impact on the team.
-
Mike McCarthy, Cowboys head coach, provided an update on Lamb's injury, expressing optimism that he will be able to play in the upcoming game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The bottom line: The acquisition of Jonathan Mingo adds depth and competition to the Cowboys' wide receiver group, providing them with more options on offense. While Mingo's production has been limited thus far, the Cowboys believe in his potential and are eager to see how he contributes to the team.
