Sources: Cowboys trade 4th-rounder for Mingo
Dallas acquiring two-time All-Pro pass rusher
Mingo to provide much-needed depth on Cowboys' defensive line
The Dallas Cowboys have reportedly acquired defensive end Justin Mingo from the Houston Texans in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick, according to sources.
Mingo, a two-time Pro Bowler, will provide the Cowboys with much-needed depth on their defensive line. The Cowboys have been looking to add a pass rusher to their defense, and Mingo fits the bill.
Mingo was a first-round pick by the Cleveland Browns in 2013. He spent the first four years of his career with the Browns before being traded to the Texans in 2017. In his seven NFL seasons, Mingo has recorded 31 sacks, 13 forced fumbles, and 10 fumble recoveries.
The Cowboys are hoping that Mingo can provide a boost to their pass rush. The Cowboys had just 23 sacks last season, which was tied for 28th in the NFL.
Mingo is expected to play a significant role in the Cowboys' defense. He is expected to start at one of the defensive end positions and will be expected to provide pressure on the quarterback.
The Cowboys are hoping that Mingo can help them improve their defense and make a run at the playoffs in 2023.
