No one would have blamed the Dallas Cowboys for being sellers going into the NFL trade deadline, since they were 3-5 and in third place in the NFC East. The injury to Dak Prescott will undoubtedly be the final nail in the Cowboys’ coffin, as if they weren’t already in trouble. However, the Cowboys chose to become buyers rather than try to trade ageing veterans with contracts that were about to expire. However, nobody appears to agree that Dallas made a smart move.
Everyone believes the Dallas Cowboys overpaid for the trade of Jonathan Mingo.
The Dallas Cowboys had a relatively quiet 2024 NFL trade deadline. They merely traded a fourth-round pick for a seventh-round pick and receiver Jonathan Mingo.
It’s acceptable for NFL fans who are unfamiliar with Mingo. His career, which began when the Carolina Panthers selected him 39th overall in the 2023 NFL Draft, has seen him amass just 539 yards and zero touchdowns.
Although Mingo was selected in the second round at Ole Miss, the 23-year-old has failed to establish himself as a reliable starter despite playing for the Panthers, who are in dire need of wide receivers. He now has a new beginning in Dallas, but why did Carolina cut ties with a man they only draughted a year ago? That should raise some red lights on its own.
NFL observers, however, just cannot see why the Cowboys traded a fourth-round pick for a guy whose reputation has plummeted since leaving Ole Miss.
