The Dallas Cowboys clearly had a depth issue at wide receiver in 2024, struggling to find a complimentary player to pair up with CeeDee Lamb. In the category of too little too late, Dallas grabbed Jonathan Mingo from the Carolina Panthers a few days after they lost starting quarterback Dak Prescott for the year. 2025 was meant to answer the question of whether the acquisition was a wise jumping on an opportunity, or a panic move. It did, and not in the affirmative.
Mingo saw action in just six contests last season, seeing a measly five targets and hauling in only one of them, a 25-yard completion. Dallas traded a fourth-round pick to the Panthers and it now appears wasted. Whatever they hoped Mingo could be, that vision is gone, leading to a pay cut this past spring just so Mingo could remain in a system that gives him his best chance of seeing the field in 2026.
