Days later, team owner Jerry Jones executed a Jonathan Mingo trade that is widely viewed as the worst deal in the NFL this year.<\/p>\n<p>Following the loss, Jones told reporters that the team was active in the trade market and eyeing a wide receiver they were high on coming out of college. On Tuesday, Dallas traded a fourth-round pick to the Carolina Panthers for Mingo and a seventh-round pick.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Latest NFL rumors on Detroit Lions OC Ben Johnson\u2019s head-coaching interest<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Jonathan Mingo contract (Spotrac):<\/strong> $576,286 cap hit in 2024, $1.555 million cap hit in 2025, $1.957 million cap hit in 2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Many on social media immediately knocked the Cowboys for the deal. Not only was it seen as an overpay, but the move made even less sense for a team realistically out of contention with its star quarterback headed to injured reserve. Yet, Jones and the Cowboys front office believe they see something in Mingo.<\/p>\n<p>A second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Mingo stood out as a 6-foot-2 wide receiver with excellent athleticism and the ability to play from the slot or the outside. However, in two seasons, he\u2019s caught just 55 receptions for 539 receiving yards and 0 touchdowns on 111 targets<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/6jRxw3hVl8U\/maxresdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Did Jerry Jones and Cowboys overpay for Jonathan Mingo?\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Richest NFL owners, including Dallas Cowboys\u2019 Jerry Jones<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bleacher Report\u2018s James Palmer touched on how the trade was viewed around the league<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI made enough calls on trade deadline day to teams trying to figure out what they\u2019re doing.

While that sentiment was held, everyone around the league recognized that Jones would never sign off on his team selling at the trade deadline.<\/p>\n<p><strong><b>R<\/b>elated: Dallas Cowboys ripped for NFL trade deadline moves<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Giving up a fourth-round pick is especially costly for a franchise like Dallas. In recent years, some of the Cowboys draft picks in the fourth round include Prescott, starting tight end Jake Ferguson, center Tyler Biadasz, running back Tony Pollard, safety Xavier Woods and tight end Dalton Schultz.<\/p>\n<p>The Mingo deal feels reminiscent of the Trey Lance trade, where Jones overstepped the Cowboys front office and overpaid for a quarterback the San Francisco 49ers were ready to move on from. One year later, Lance couldn\u2019t even beat out Cooper Rush to be the Cowboys\u2019 backup quarterback and he\u2019ll still be riding the bench with Prescott out for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NFL executives were very critical of the Dallas Cowboys and owner Jerry Jones for the Jonathan Mingo trade at the NFL trade deadline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1948,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1947","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dallas-cowboys"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
