Cowboys Trade for Jonathan Mingo: Dallas Acquires Panthers WR After Jerry Jones Promises to 'Buy' at Deadline

Cowboys Make Major Deadline Deal

The Dallas Cowboys have made a significant move ahead of the NFL's trade deadline, acquiring wide receiver Jonathan Mingo from the Carolina Panthers in exchange for a conditional 2024 draft pick. The move comes as the Cowboys look to bolster their offense and make a push for a playoff berth.

Mingo, 27, is a 6'3″, 220-pound wideout who has spent the past four seasons with the Panthers. He has recorded 189 receptions for 2,441 yards and 16 touchdowns in his career.

Jerry Jones' Promise to 'Buy'

The Cowboys' acquisition of Mingo comes after owner Jerry Jones made headlines earlier this week by saying that he would “buy” at the trade deadline. Jones' comments were seen as a sign that the Cowboys were ready to make a significant move to improve their team.

The trade for Mingo is the first major move that the Cowboys have made since Jones' comments. It is a sign that the Cowboys are serious about contending for a playoff berth this season.

Mingo's Role in Dallas

Mingo is expected to play a significant role in the Cowboys' offense. He will likely line up opposite CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup, giving the Cowboys one of the most talented receiving corps in the NFL.

Mingo's size and athleticism make him a dangerous downfield threat. He is also a good blocker, which will help the Cowboys' running game.

Cowboys Aim for Playoff Berth

The Cowboys are currently 6-3 and in first place in the NFC East. They are one of the favorites to win the division and make a run in the playoffs.

The addition of Mingo gives the Cowboys another weapon on offense and should help them improve their chances of making a deep playoff run.
