The Dallas Cowboys are 3-5, and their starting quarterback is about to go on injured reserve, yet Jerry Jones made a move Tuesday morning that is leaving everyone wondering what in the heck is wrong with him.
If you haven’t checked Twitter for the last few hours, I would say go ahead and jump on there and just search for Jerry Jones.
He made another move this morning that has everyone throwing a fit, and all the fans and people who cover the team have every right to.
The Dallas Cowboys traded a 2025 fourth-round pick to Carolina in exchange for Panthers wide receiver Jonathan Mingo.
Yes, I was thinking the exact same thing as you. Who??

Another Overpay
Jerry, what in the world are you doing dude??
Mingo, 23, was a second-round pick (39th overall) of the Panthers in the 2023 NFL Draft.
He started 14 of 15 games as a rookie, catching 43 passes (on 85 targets) for 418 yards, but Mingo has seen a reduced role in 2024, playing roughly half the offensive snaps and catching 12 passes for 121 yards in nine games (five starts).
The 6-foot-2, 220-pound Mingo has yet to catch a touchdown pass in 24 NFL games. In his one game against the Cowboys, Mingo caught one pass for 6 yards on six targets in Week 11 last season.
Like you cannot be serious man, look at the video above I have posted of Michael Fabiano. He outlines it PERFECTLY for us.
Think about this, Jones and the Cowboys just gave up more than the Chiefs did for DeAndre Hopkins, and the Ravens did for Dionate Johnson.
The Panthers got more for Mingo than Diontae Johnson. Only the stupid Cowboys. Retire, Jerry Jones.

Does Anyone Understand?
Please, if you see what Jerry is doing here, please let me know.
The only thing they have going for this deal is control over the next 2.5 years, but they can get that with this pick in the 2025 draft.
Jerry Jones trading a fourth-round pick for a wide receiver (with zero career touchdowns in 24 games) and seventh-round pick, when his team is 3-5 and just put the franchise QB on IR, is a choice. A bad one at that.
Good points. Still an overpay by about a round, but this stuff matters. https://t.co/GsjD1hhbGT

He is hoping all of us will be so happy that he did something after everyone has gotten on him for making this team worse. Well you did the opposite.
Anyone who follows football understands how bad of a move this is.
This is why Jerry needs to give up this power. He has no fear of losing his job as the owner, obviously, but he just makes putrid moves like this and doesn’t even care!
Maybe I am overacting, but this is a overpay for a guy who has caught 12 passes this season on a team that got blown out every game, so they had to pass.
This team has the Eagles, Texans, Commandors, and Bengals four out of their next five games. They are going to be without Dak Prescott, a recovering Micah Parsons, banged up CeeDee Lamb, Trevon Diggs, etc.
But sure, let’s go trade a fourth round pick for a guy who doesn’t have a touchdown, and couldn’t get the ball on one of the worst teams in the league.
This team needed to be sellers, and Jerry refused to pack it in and admit that doing things his way this season did not work.
The Cowboys may not win another game until they play the Panthers on December 15th!
It will be so hard to watch this team over the next several weeks, and listen to Jerry try and tell us all that they still have hope for this season when they are 5 games under .500.
He will then blame the injuries, and bring Mike McCarthy back next season, giving him a pass due to all of them, yet they were awful before the injuries happened.
We need another WR outside of Ceedee, but yeah Mingo isn’t the answer lmao. This is what Jerry does hoping it’ll turn out and make him look like a genius ! Yet 95% Jerry just looks like an old senile moron that has no idea what he’s doing.
It’s embarrassing to be a Cowboys fan with Jerry running things
This year was a disaster from the start. Maybe the free agents that abandoned ship knew something. Of course, they couldn’t sign these guys anyway mainly b/c of those one or two BIG contracts. Some of them are on a much better team, think Wash. Then the draft was another train wreck, NOT DRAFTING a RB AT ALL or a D-lineman TO HELP STOP THE RUN till late and now he isn’t even on the team. Of course, extending QB1 with another STUPID money contract is another HUGE mistake. Some say about him being the only/best option. The problem with that is he NEVER got ANY REAL competition to judge that by. I guess some like the stat hound against SLUG teams. But that is even changing. He can’t even run now w/o getting injured. Some informed fans saw this coming years ago and commented here.
Should be common sense by now, NINE YEARS AND TWO PLAYOFF WINS, WHAT THE HELL ELSE DO YOU NEED TO SEE. So, they give him the highest contract in NFL history. Make it make sense. Like beating a dead horse now, but they just hitched their wagon, and fans will NOT see another SB for the next four years MINIMUM!!! SAD to say, but they are like a rudderless team now and its b/c of their own doing. They are VERY lucky to have the LOYALIST FANS IN THE NFL.
A lot of those “Loyalist Fans” are boomers, who grew up with the Cowboys; Roger Staubach, Tom Landry, Doomsday, etal. This roach, Jerry Jones, is doing very little to entice the next generations of football fans to root for his dysfunctional team. This is the first season I’ve not sprung for any platform to watch the team, it appears to have been a good choice.
Shane, I do not envy you having to watch this mess of a team to write your articles. Me, I’ll be fishing.
Um, doesn’t he realize that 4th round will be a high pick in 2025 because of our awful record??
This is basically labor busting action to reduce nfl salaries beginning with his own team. I believe Will Mclay was a guy that recognized talent once upon a time. But he now seems to look through the jones eyes which disregard talent somewhat for salary expense. Landry and Schramm Built a a lasting dynasty that won. Jimmy built dynasty that jerry personally destroyed. Parcells re-taught them how to recognize talent. Now after 29 yrs jerry has broken it again. This may be long lasting without a stable and knowledgeable gm and creative and demanding coaching staff. Oh well it is the owners toy. what ya gonna do? Bad boy bad boy.
What a joke this franchise now has become under its clueless leadership from senile Jeeeerah followed closely by his equally clueless minions Jones Jr, and over the hill outcoached every week McCarthy! Lost a 4-decade fan, looking for a new team..!
