Signed by Cowboys Jonathan Mingo: one year, $1.145 million (see post 45 for details)

Not according to Jerry.

He said they spent a 4th because they had a second round grade on him when he was drafted.

and then he went and played with an atrocious QB in Carolina. You can not judge any wr under that situation.

 

[unionjack8]

4th round pick for this guy.
Fans could see after his 1st half season he was appalling.
Just move on

Really?

Didn’t their rookie WR just win OROY? Who was his QB?

 

[Kwyn]

Hmmm ... I guess he was just desperate to stay. Figured he'd at least get $400,000 guaranteed out of it.

I don’t mind this at all. We have Fluornoy to develop and a veteran WR who knows our system to come in and catch a pass or two a game in spot duty is something every team needs and the price is obviously right

Mingo and Bryce young were drafted the same year.

Bryce was horrible, as was their offensive line. He was benched in 2024 but had a better year last season.

GP	CMP	ATT	CMP%	YDS	AVG	TD	INT			RTG	QBR
16	315	527	59.8	2,877	5.5	11	10			73.7	34.1

And yeah, Tet McMillan is really good. Without him, the Panthers would almost certainly not exercise Bryce’s fifth year option.

I'm fine with it. We need to keep what we've got on offense so we can focus on defense. It's obvious through the first couple of days that we haven't done enough there.

What a fricken waste of money and roster space.

This makes no sense.

The guy's post or the topic?

 

[big dog cowboy]

Do you realize they traded a 4th rounder for Mingo and he hasnt even broken the starting lineup?

Would you prefer to bench Lamb or Pickens?

 

[big dog cowboy]

$820k paycut to stay on the team.

I wish more people understood that.

 

[big dog cowboy]

The guy's post or the topic?

Yes.

 

[Doomsay]

LOL, budget buster. Steve and Jerry's egos must be maintained.

 

[Praxit]

..meh, not a deal breaker nor deal maker.

Seven people agreed with this comment

Like Sam Williams, I just don’t understand keeping a guy in his soon to be 4th year, who has done NOTHING.

“Potential” is a word this FO loves. As the late-great Darrell Royal once said, “Potential just means he ain’t done it yet.”

Treading water in the NFL is actually sinking.

 

[Kingofholland]

This must mean Pickens is definitely getting traded

 

[soopastar4]

Tolbert favoritism got in the way of him getting on the field.

 

[Risen Star]

It was Pickens or Mingo and they have made their decision.

 

[ChuckA1]

Here is what scares me...all these crap signings....they start to add up. I mean the difference between us getting Dean was a few million ....So why not spend the extra to get the guy you really want ??? Instead here we are scrapping the barrel...wasting cap space...on bottom of the roster guys. Makes absolutely no sense.

Maybe this move will make Mingo easier to trade?

 

[BobSacamano]

Maybe this move will make Mingo easier to trade?

I think we can recoup a 4th rounder for him…
