The Carolina Panthers made waves before the trade deadline, sending wide receiver Jonathan Mingo and a 2025 seventh-round pick to the Dallas Cowboys. In return, Carolina received Dallas’ 2025 fourth-round pick, adding draft capital for a rebuilding phase. Mingo, a 2023 second-round pick from Ole Miss, had struggled to find his rhythm in Carolina. With just 12 catches for 121 yards this season, he often found himself behind other young talents like Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker. Trading Mingo allows the Panthers to reset and focus on emerging receivers while gaining future flexibility.

This fourth-round pick could play a crucial role in Carolina’s future. Under the guidance of GM Dan Morgan, who is keen on rebuilding a young, competitive roster, adding another mid-round selection provides room for strategic growth and much-needed depth. Morgan’s decision highlights the Panthers’ commitment to crafting a sustainable team. Panthers fans, how do you feel about Jonathan Mingo’s departure?
