FRISCO, Texas – The Cowboys acquired wide receiver Jonathan Mingo in a trade with the Carolina Panthers. Dallas is sending a 2025 fourth-round pick and a 2025 seventh-round pick to Carolina for Mingo.

The corresponding move is the release of cornerback Andrew Booth, who was acquired in a trade during this year’s training camp in Oxnard.

Mingo was the 39th^Th Overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, has caught 55 passes for 539 yards in 24 career games and has yet to score his first career touchdown. The 6-foot-2, 220-pound wideout gives the Cowboys a big target with two years remaining on his rookie contract after the 2024 season, and Mingo is getting a fresh start in his career in Dallas.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones mentioned on his weekly radio show 105.3 The Fan this morning that the Cowboys would likely acquire a wide receiver they liked coming out of college. Now they have him.

“We’re most likely going to sign a receiver today that we really thought a lot about and wanted to sign,” Jones said. “And so we’ll have a chance to get him.”

Mingo played four seasons at Ole Miss, where he caught 112 passes for 1,758 yards and 12 touchdowns, receiving two^nd-Team All-SEC honors in his senior season. At the Indianapolis combine, Mingo ran a 40-yard dash in 4.46 seconds, had a vertical jump of 39.5 inches and a broad jump of 10 feet, 9 inches.

This is the second time in as many years that the Cowboys have traded a fourth-round pick for a young, developing addition to the roster, as their fourth-round pick went to San Francisco in exchange for Trey Lance last season. Lance hasn’t seen the field in the Cowboys’ regular season yet, but that could change in the near future with Dak Prescott likely heading to injured reserve, according to Jones.

Jones made it very clear that the Cowboys still want to build this roster to win in 2024, echoing the sentiment after the loss to Atlanta on Sunday and this morning on 105.3 The Fan.

“We don’t sell,” Jones said. “We will make the case by buying, not selling.”

The NFL trade deadline is today at 3:00 p.m. CT.
