Unfortunately, the Carolina Panthers’ second-round investment in last year’s draft has not paid off. So, it’s time to move on.
On Tuesday morning, NFL Network insiders Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport reported that the Panthers are trading wide receiver Jonathan Mingo to the Dallas Cowboys. Mingo, the 39th overall selection in 2023, and a 2025 seventh-round pick will be headed to “Jerry World” in exchange for a 2025 fourth-round pick.
The former Ole Miss standout closes out his chapter in Carolina with just 55 catches for 539 yards and zero touchdowns over 24 games. And needless to say, the 23-year-old didn’t really catch on with much of the Panthers’ faithful.
Here’s how fans are reacting to the swap . . .

Panthers got more for Jonathan Mingo than Diontae Johnson 😂

The fact that we got more for Mingo than we did for Diontae Johnson blows my mind.
Well done, Dan Morgan.

Just pretend like we got the 4th for Dionte and the 5th for Mingo 😭

While I’m bummed that the #Panthers wasted a high 2nd-round pick last year on Jonathan Mingo, I’m glad Dan Morgan was quick to move on him when he knew he wasn’t it
