Jerry Jones’ high-stakes bet on Jonathan Mingo: Bold move or blunder?
What’s your perspective on:
Is Jerry Jones' $8.8 million gamble on Jonathan Mingo a stroke of genius or a costly mistake?
Have an interesting take?
Jerry Jones is never one to shy away from making headlines, and the recent trade for wide receiver Jonathan Mingo is no exception. “We’re buying, not selling,” Jones declared, doubling down on his faith in the 3-5 Cowboys. But fans and analysts are divided. Did Dallas overpay? Some think so. As one analyst put it, “Amari Cooper was cheaper.” And with Mingo’s underwhelming stats this season—just 12 catches for 121 yards—it’s a tough sell. But Jones sees something others might be missing, remarking, “We really thought a lot of [Mingo] and wanted to draft him” in 2023.

For Mingo, the trade is a fresh start he’s eager to embrace. “I’m excited for the opportunity,” he shared, knowing he’s got a chance to turn his season around with Dallas. Meanwhile, the Panthers, happy to cut their losses, managed to secure a favorable fourth-round pick for the underperforming receiver.
With Dak Pre͏s͏cott sidelined by a hamstr͏ing ͏injur͏y,͏ the Cowboys need͏ all the offe͏nsive he͏lp they͏ can get.͏ Pr͏escott’s absence͏,͏ ͏possibly extending ͏past Thanksgiving, mean͏s t͏he team will likely rely on C͏oo͏per R͏ush or Tre͏y͏ Lance to carry the lo͏ad. It’s a tough ͏spot͏, but Jones i͏s banki͏ng on Min͏go’s ra͏w athleticism to help spark a ͏struggling͏ offense. “It’s a ͏storybook-type of scenari͏o,” ͏he mused,͏ hoping͏ Min͏go’s b͏ig frame ͏and speed͏ ͏will͏ open up new option͏s.
