FRISCO, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys acquired wide receiver Jonathan Mingo and a 2025 seventh-round pick from the Carolina Panthers for a 2025 fourth-round pick, sources told ESPN on Tuesday.
Mingo, a second-round pick in 2023 out of Mississippi, has 12 receptions for 121 yards this season. He has one catch in the last four games and has only two games in his career with more than four catches.
In Carolina, Mingo was behind 2024 first-round pick Xavier Legette , undrafted rookie Jalen Coker and 2017 seventh-round pick David Moore , despite the hamstring injury suffered by Adam Thielen and the trade of Diontae Johnson .
Getting a fourth-round pick for Mingo after sending the Baltimore Ravens a 2025 sixth-round pick and Johnson to Baltimore for a 2025 fifth-rounder last week had to feel like a win for Carolina general manager Dan Morgan, who is trying to rebuild the 2-7 Panthers that appear headed for a seventh straight losing season through the draft.
After Sunday’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons that dropped Dallas to 3-5 on the season, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said the team has “some things in the mill,” for a trade but do not expect a blockbuster deal.
