The Dallas Cowboys traded with the Carolina Panthers for Jonathan Mingo on Tuesday. Yes, it happened. That the Cowboys made a move for someone shocked a lot of people as they are looking like one of the lower-quality teams in the NFL through the first week in November. Many thought, hoped more than anything, that Dallas would maybe sell off some assets in the name of competing more seriously next season; however, waving the white flag has never been the team’s style.
It does not seem like the Mingo trade is the Cowboys doing something that they believe will significantly help them this year as the lone positive that people are holding on to is that the Cowboys have him under team control through the 2026 season.
