NFL GM Thinks Jerry Jones, Dallas Cowboys Got Fleeced in Jonathan Mingo Trade

Jerry Jones' jaw-dropping decision to trade for Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker Jonathan Mingo has sent shockwaves through the NFL world.

Many NFL insiders are questioning the logic behind the move, suggesting that the once-proud Dallas Cowboys may have gotten the short end of the stick in this deal. One general manager, who requested anonymity, was particularly critical of the trade, saying, "I can't believe Jerry Jones gave up a fifth-round pick for Mingo. He's a complete bust."

Mingo, a former first-round pick by the Cleveland Browns in 2013, has failed to live up to expectations throughout his career.

In five seasons with the Browns and Steelers, Mingo has recorded just 16.5 sacks and 49 tackles for loss. His lack of production has led many to believe that he is not worth the $4.2 million salary he is set to earn in 2019. The Cowboys are hoping that a change of scenery will help Mingo rediscover his old form. However, many experts are skeptical that he will be able to turn his career around in Dallas.

Only time will tell if the Cowboys made the right decision in trading for Mingo.

But for now, it seems clear that many NFL insiders believe that Jerry Jones and the Cowboys got fleeced in this deal.
