Cowboys Trade Truth Revealed Amid Jonathan Mingo Hype

The Dallas Cowboys have spoken all offseason about the potential of Jonathan Mingo, but our insider Mike Fisher knows it is only because of one reason.

The Dallas Cowboys’ trade for Jonathan Mingo, in much of the same way as the franchise did with Trey Lance, was a dart throw.

A fourth-round pick was used to get Mingo in the building last year, and well, he didn’t amount to much.

Now, with the Cowboys needing a No. 2 receiver to go alongside CeeDee Lamb, Stephen Jones has mentioned Mingo in glowing terms, stating that he has the potential to be a No. 2 receiver.

We also heard at the beginning of April how hopeful Stephen was that Mingo could develop into something substantial this offseason.

“I like our room,” Jones said then. “We added [Jonathan] Mingo late in the year last year, I think him having a full offseason to work with Dak…We really liked him when he came out of Ole Miss. I really feel like he has a lot of upside.”

That is a lot of talk and hope for a player who has only had 60 receptions for 585 yards in two seasons. But again, dart throw. There is hope that he will develop into something substantial, not concrete confidence.

But enter our own Mike Fisher, who is suggesting to fans that knows why Mingo’s name has been pushed so hard by the franchise this offseason.

“This organization keeps talking about Jonathan Mingo, and part of the reason they talk about him is because they want to be right [about the trade],” Fish said. “He’s never done it.”

The Cowboys weren’t right on the Lance trade, and while it is only early, the Mingo trade looks like it is panning out the same way.

Now, we aren’t saying that Mingo can’t produce like Jalen Tolbert did in training camp last season and give a proper sense of confidence to Cowboys Nation that he might be a viable option in 2025.

But even if he does, most know that he can’t be the No. 2 receiver entering the season. Dak Prescott needs a substantial No. 2, one that defenses must plan for like George Pickens, Courtland Sutton, or, dare we say it, Amari Cooper.

Mingo, right now, as Fish says, has never done it with real NFL bullets flying to the level the Cowboys need. That’s not to say he can’t, but we will believe it when we see it.

And if we do, you can bet that the Cowboys will be over the moon that they were found to be proven right in flipping a fourth-round pick for a player, who they managed to get the best out of when others thought they couldn’t.
