The Dallas Cowboys clearly had a depth issue at wide receiver last season, struggling to find a complimentary player to pair up with CeeDee Lamb. In the category of too little too late, Dallas grabbed Mingo from the Carolina Panthers a few days after they lost starting quarterback Dak Prescott for the year.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>The loss of a bona fide starter made evaluation of Mingo nearly impossible, so this offseason the team continued their search and landed on George Pickens. The lack of a chance to establish himself in the rotation and being pushed down the depth chart makes things tough to decipher for Mingo heading into 2025.<\/p>\n<h2>Rundown<\/h2>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/Sb4g1rnpFeK79R40sxfCQA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/dallas_cowboys_wire_usa_today_sports_articles_693\/273198348f55f6d42bc1621b626f0a5c\" alt=\"$8 million WR will finally get a chance to play with established QB\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" data-nimg=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><dialog aria-label=\"Image Lightbox\" aria-modal=\"true\"><\/dialog><\/div><figcaption>WR5 Jonathan Mingo (3rd Year)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Position:<\/strong> Wide Receiver<\/p>\n<p><strong>Age:<\/strong> 23<\/p>\n<p><strong>Height: <\/strong>6-foot-2<\/p>\n<p><strong>Weight:<\/strong> 220 pounds<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hometown:<\/strong> Brandon, MI<\/p>\n<p><strong>High School: <\/strong>Brandon High School<\/p>\n<p><strong>College:<\/strong> Mississippi (Highlight Video)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Draft: <\/strong>2023, Second-round pick (39th overall pick)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Acquired:<\/strong> Traded 2025 fourth-round pick (Trevor Etienne) for Mingo, 2025 seventh-rounder (Tommy Akingbesote)<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contract: <\/strong>Four-year deal (2023), $8.85 million<\/p>\n<p><strong>2025 Base Salary:<\/strong> $1.55 million (guaranteed)<\/p>\n<p>Career Earnings: $5.3 million (per Over The Cap)<\/p>\n<h2>Profile<\/h2>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/ysJbrSa8V5b7CmDqy.223A--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/dallas_cowboys_wire_usa_today_sports_articles_693\/c38176138e8318dc3279d76d8788e231\" alt=\"$8 million WR will finally get a chance to play with established QB\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" data-nimg=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><dialog aria-label=\"Image Lightbox\" aria-modal=\"true\"><\/dialog><\/div><figcaption>Oct 13, 2024; Charlotte, North Carolina, USA; Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jonathan Mingo (15) during pregame warm ups against the Atlanta Falcons at Bank of America Stadium.
