Mingo, a 2023 second-round pick, never emerged as a consistent contributor on offense with the Panthers and was traded to the Cowboys in November 2024, playing a reserve role with his new team. Across 14 total regular-season appearances with Dallas from 2024-25, he totaled six grabs for 71 yards on 21 targets. Now with just one year left on his rookie deal, Mingo's chance to show progress in his development is growing scarce, and he faces real hurdles to securing a roster spot behind CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Ryan Flournoy and KaVontae Turpin in 2026.
