FRISCO, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys acquired huge receiver Jonathan Mingo and a 2025 seventh-spherical earn from the Carolina Panthers for a 2025 fourth-spherical earn sooner than Tuesday’s alternate decrease-off date.
Mingo, a 2nd-spherical earn in 2023 out of Mississippi, has 12 receptions for 121 yards this season. He has one rob within the previous four games and has completely two games in his occupation with bigger than four catches.
In Carolina, Mingo became within the aid of 2024 first-spherical earn Xavier Legette, undrafted rookie Jalen Coker and 2017 seventh-spherical earn David Moore, no topic the hamstring damage sustained by Adam Thielen and the alternate of Diontae Johnson.
Getting a fourth-spherical earn for Mingo after sending the Baltimore Ravens a 2025 sixth-spherical earn and Johnson to Baltimore for a 2025 fifth-rounder last week had to surely feel like a take for Carolina total supervisor Dan Morgan, who is attempting to rebuild the 2-7 Panthers who appear headed for a seventh straight shedding season.
After Sunday’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons that dropped Dallas to three-5, Cowboys owner and total supervisor Jerry Jones acknowledged the team has “some issues within the mill” for a alternate but would no longer request a blockbuster deal.
While no longer declaring Mingo by title, Jones acknowledged Tuesday on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas that the receiver the Cowboys would create became someone they felt extremely about throughout the draft process.
In 2018, the Cowboys traded a serious-spherical earn to the Oakland Raiders for huge receiver Amari Cooper and noticed their season turn around, ending 10-6, successful the NFC East and a playoff sport.
This alternate is rarely any longer that, but it gives the Cowboys depth at a location this three hundred and sixty five days and for the future with Mingo below contract for 2 more seasons.
All-Pro receiver CeeDee Lamb is facing a sprained AC joint in his goal correct shoulder, but Mike McCarthy became hopeful he would be in a location to play Sunday in opposition to the Philadelphia Eagles. Brandin Cooks is eligible to starting up up training this week, but he is anticipated to continue his rehab from knee surgery.
While Jalen Tolbert (30 catches, 353 yards, three touchdowns) has been productive, the Cowboys’ Nos. 4-6 receivers possess blended for 25 catches and one landing.
