The Dallas Cowboys acquired second-year wide receiver Jonathan Mingo and a 2025 seventh-round pick from the Carolina Panthers on Tuesday, making it one of the more unexpected moves.
Dallas felt they needed another pass-catcher, but the trade cost them a 2025 fourth-round pick, which upset supporters. With a third-round grade on the young receiver going into the 2023 NFL Draft, Dallas is taking a chance.
For the first time since the move, Mingo talked to media on Thursday, expressing excitement for the new chance. “For me, this is a new beginning. According to Jon Machota of The Athletic, he stated, “I’m happy they took a chance on me so I can show them what I can do.” “I’m able to demonstrate my abilities because someone finally believed in me.” I’m simply content to be here.
With star wideout CeeDee Lamb banged up and Brandin Cooks still on IR, Mingo has a good chance to make an impact in the Cowboys’ passing game.
Former third-round pick Jalen Tolbert has stepped up since Cooks’ injury, which is a great sign. However, the Cowboys don’t have a solid WR3, which is where Mingo comes into play. In nine games with the Panthers this season, the 23-year-old only had 12 receptions (26 targets) for 121 yards.
