Jerry Jones telegraphed the Cowboys trade for WR during a radio appearance on Deadline Morning

On Tuesday morning, Jerry Jones joined 105.3 The Fan for his weekly interview spot and gave Dallas Cowboys fans a preview of what to expect.

The NFL trade deadline ends this afternoon and Jones was asked what the Cowboys would do. The matter is drawing a lot of interest from local and national soccer fans as Dallas is on the verge of making the playoffs and many would argue that it is better to sell the franchise than buy it. Jones immediately dispelled those thoughts by telegraphing the Cowboys' trade for a wide receiver, which became a reality less than an hour after his comments.

Jones announced the franchise would add a receiver before the deadline, and it was a player the Cowboys really liked coming out of college. Shortly thereafter, it was announced that the organization was acquiring wideout Jonathan Mingo from the Carolina Panthers.

It was later reported that the Cowboys gave up a fourth-round pick in exchange for Mingo and a seventh-round pick.

Mingo played at Ole Miss and was named second-team All-SEC in 2023 before entering the NFL draft. He was selected by the Panthers in the second round with the 39th pick. In 24 games with Carolina, Mingo has 55 catches for 539 yards but has yet to score a touchdown as a pro.

Jones adds Mingo to an awfully thin receiver room behind CeeDee Lamb, who is banged up but expected to play on Sunday. He'll be catching passes from Cooper Rush or Trey Lance in the next few weeks, as Dak Prescott is expected to be out on IR with a hamstring injury.

Not an earth-shattering move, but one that makes it clear that the Cowboys won't be giving away any talent on Tuesday.
