The Dallas Cowboys have been through a roller-coaster season thus far, but at 3-5, owner Jerry Jones proved the team would be buyers, not sellers, ahead of the NFL trade deadline. 

Dallas acquired second-year wide receiver Jonathan Mingo from the Carolina Panthers, giving up a 2025 fourth-round pick in the process. The Cowboys also received a 2025 seventh-round pick from Carolina.  

But at least one rival GM thought Jones’ move was too much, as NFL Network’s Jane Slater reported.

"I asked a GM of another team his thoughts on the Cowboys trade for Jonathan Mingo," Slater wrote on X. "The thoughts were something ‘Talented. A little raw. Comp is too much… like way too much. Basically a net 5th [round pick]. Probably is most like [Jalen] Tolbert of the guys there.’  

"The GM goes on to say, ‘Just my opinion. Not a bad player but to include a 4th is rich."

Mingo was a high prospect coming out of Ole Miss, but things never materialized in Carolina after they took him in the second round last season following their selection of Bryce Young with the No. 1 overall pick.

Another rival GM of the Cowboys told Slater that Mingo’s "skill set" is there, but he is "raw."

This season, Mingo has hauled in just 12 passes for 121 yards with no touchdowns.
