The Dallas Cowboys irked their fans in the off-season by failing to make adequate trades to improve their roster. Unsurprisingly, the team has struggled to win games, sitting in third place in the NFC East with a 3-5 record.
Dallas acquired wideout Jonathan Mingo and a 2025 seventh-round pick from the Carolina Panthers before Tuesday’s trade deadline in exchange for a fourth-round pick. While the 39th overall pick of the 2023 draft is no star, he can have a significant impact on the Cowboys’ offense, at least that is what Jerry Jones believes.
During his weekly appearance on 105.3 The Fan, Jerry Jones spoke highly of Mingo and revealed that the team had been hoping to get him since the 2023 draft.
The Cowboys’ GM is certain that Jonathan Mingo is the ideal receiver for Dak Prescott and will fit perfectly into the team’s offensive system.
Jonathan Mingo is enthusiastic to be a part of the Cowboys
The former wideout out of Mississippi has 12 receptions for 121 yards this season. The Panthers have failed to utilize him which is why the team did not hesitate to trade him. Despite having immense upside potential, Mingo has not gotten the shot to prove himself in the NFL. He has just two games in his career with over four catches.
The wide receiver expressed optimism at being in Dallas.
He will have to wait a while for Dak Prescott to throw him a pass, but until then, Jonathan Mingo will be able to get a hang of the team’s offensive playbook.
