So Jonathan Mingo was originally a 2nd round draft pick for the Panthers (2023), and now it cost the Cowboys a 2025 4th round pick for trade?

Ok, can we trade Trey Lance and get at least a 4th round pick back? Possibly a 3rd rounder? That would make up for wasting a 4th round pick on a bench warming WR (Mingo).

We just wasted a 4th rd pick on Lance and could've used it to draft a RB. Jerry said we're in a soft rebuild and then traded another 4th for a WR that doesn't even start in Carolina. Won't start here. ***
Jerry has never, ever said we were in a rebuild of any type since the year he bought the team.

If I’m wrong, I’d love to see the link.

I’m excited thinking how, much better we would have been so far this year with those 12 catches and zero TDs for Mingo behind such stalwarts as a 34 year old Thielen, Dionte Johnson and Leggette. This man is destined to be a super star. Well done Jerry even though we probably get a better player if we just kept that damn 4th. The clown show rolls on.

I know right, this is like a nightmare that keeps repeating itself. Jerry continues to let the rest of the league and fanbase know he's the worst GM in the league

The Panthers screwed up mightily taking Mingo in the 2nd. He was a 5th round rated WR.

Thing is, Jerry looks at players draft slots the same way I've seen some posters on here do: He was drafted high so he must be good. What a dumb way to evaluate.
I think the last time that actually worked was with Marc Colombo

The Dallas Cowboys completed a trade with the Carolina Panthers on Tuesday to acquire wide receiver Jonathan Mingo and a 2025 seventh-round draft pick in exchange for a 2025 fourth-round draft pick.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said prior to the deadline that the team was looking to add a wide receiver and is “not selling,” despite the slow start to the year, according to The Athletic’s Jon Machota.

Dallas will now begin to integrate Mingo into the offensive system as the team looks to make a late push for the playoffs despite multiple major injuries suffered by key players on the team.

Here is how The Dallas Express would grade the trade from both the Cowboys’ and Panthers’ perspectives:

Cowboys Grade: C-

Mingo is still an incredibly young receiver with the athletic traits and potential to break out as a meaningful player in the future, but giving up a fourth-round pick was too much for a player of his caliber.

The second-year receiver was selected with the eighth pick in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft and is 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 220 pounds, posting an impressive 4.46 40-yard dash time and a 39.5-inch vertical.

Mingo is also just 23 years old and will be on a cheap contract until the end of the 2026 season, meaning the Cowboys will have a chance to observe his growth and make decisions on his future in the coming seasons.

LOL. You cant make this stuff up. Jerruh is so inept. Your starting QB is out for weeks you’re on the verge of being eliminated form playoff contention. What a freaking waste.

Mingo is straight up trash, dude can’t even beat out the scrubs the Panthers are trotting out there.

4th is beyond laughable, I honestly think Jerry is trying to lose on purpose now, nobody is this f’ing bad at roster building.

So 4 or 3 years ago, Jerry signs Prescott without the affordability of trade ability. So we expected things to change this time. But some how some way, he signed Dak to an enormous contract WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO TRADE HIM AGAIN. What on God's green earth was this bum thinking? Then he basically gives up a 4th for a middle of the road WR. If Stephen has any balls left, he would snatch that GM and mandatory retirement of Jerry. That guy was already a "GM" loser, now he's just pathetic.
