The Dallas Cowboys, struggling with a 3-6 record this season, made a notable trade before the NFL deadline, acquiring wide receiver Jonathan Mingo from the Carolina Panthers. In exchange, they sent a 2025 fourth-round pick to Carolina.
Head coach Mike McCarthy announced that Mingo will debut against the Houston Texans. Despite Mingo's modest stats in his first two seasons, the Cowboys had high hopes for him, believing he could fulfill a critical role alongside CeeDee Lamb.
However, analysts have criticized the deal, suggesting the Cowboys overpaid for Mingo compared to other trades made during the deadline. With Dak Prescott sidelined, the team's playoff hopes appear slim, but Mingo's performance could bring some excitement to the remainder of the season.
