FRISCO, TEXAS — The Dallas Cowboys have traded a 4th-round pick for Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Jonathan Mingo. This mid-season move adds depth to the Cowboys’ receiving corps, a critical need with quarterback Dak Prescott sidelined due to a hamstring injury. Prescott’s injury has placed additional pressure on the Cowboys’ offense, making this trade a potential lifeline for backup QB Cooper Rush, who’s expected to start in Prescott’s absence.
Mingo, a 6’2″, 220-pound target, brings size, strong hands, and yards-after-catch ability—qualities the Cowboys hope will quickly complement CeeDee Lamb and Jake Ferguson. While Mingo’s season in Carolina got off to a slow start, Dallas is betting on his upside and long-term fit.
With Prescott’s status uncertain, this trade signals that the Cowboys are preparing for a gritty playoff push, adding a fresh weapon just in time to bolster an offense hit by injuries.
