The wheeling and dealing on deadline day has begun for the Carolina Panthers.
According to NFL Network insiders Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport, second-year wide receiver Jonathan Mingo will be traded to the Dallas Cowboys. Carolina, per multiple reports, is set to receive a 2025 fourth-round pick in exchange for the 23-year-old pass catcher and a 2025 seventh-round pick.
Mingo was selected in the second round of the 2023 NFL draft. Prior to his pro career, the Brandon, Miss. native played his college ball at the University of Mississippi—recording 112 receptions for 1,758 yards and 12 scores from 2019 to 2022.
He’d proceed to struggle in finding a spot with the Panthers, as he’s amassed just 55 catches for 539 yards and zero touchdowns in 24 games. With the early progress of rookie wideouts Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker, Mingo’s role had especially evaporated over the last four outings—where he totaled only one reception for one yard on five targets.
