Dallas sends fourth-round pick to Carolina

Mingo gives Cowboys another weapon in passing game

The Dallas Cowboys have acquired wide receiver Jonathan Mingo from the Carolina Panthers in exchange for a fourth-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the team announced Tuesday. Mingo, 24, has played three seasons in the NFL, all with the Panthers. He has 104 receptions for 1,311 yards and six touchdowns in his career. Mingo is a versatile receiver who can play both inside and outside. He is also a good blocker, which makes him a valuable asset in the Cowboys' offense. The Cowboys have been looking to add a wide receiver since trading Amari Cooper to the Cleveland Browns in March. Mingo gives them a young, talented receiver who has the potential to be a major contributor. Mingo is expected to compete for a starting role in the Cowboys' offense. He will join CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup, and Dalton Schultz as the team's top receiving targets. The Cowboys are hoping that Mingo can help them improve their passing game, which ranked 21st in the NFL last season. With Mingo in the fold, the Cowboys now have a more diverse and talented group of receivers. The Panthers, meanwhile, are rebuilding their team after a disappointing 5-12 season. Trading Mingo is a sign that the Panthers are willing to move on from some of their veteran players in order to get younger and cheaper. Mingo is a talented receiver, but he has not been able to consistently produce in the NFL. A change of scenery could be good for him, and he could be a valuable contributor to the Cowboys' offense.
