"During his latest appearance on 105.3 The Fan, owner Jerry Jones said ( via Joseph Hoyt of the Dallas Morning News) the Cowboys are open to making a deal for a player under contract beyond 2025. Last season provided an example of that approach in the form of the Jonathan Mingo trade. "[Jonathan] Mingo was that type of trade last year," Jones said when speaking about potentially adding a player with term on their contract. "We liked the value in a going forward basis.""
"That assessment of the Mingo swap is certainly notable given his non-impactful Cowboys tenure to date. Dallas sent Carolina a fourth-round pick at the deadline one year ago for Mingo and a seventh-round selection. The 24-year-old made just one catch in eight appearances upon arrival with the Cowboys. He has not suited up this season, although the fact Mingo is under contract through 2027 leaves him time to emerge as a contributor."
The Cowboys are seeking at least one trade addition and are open to both short-term rentals and long-term acquisitions of players under contract beyond 2025. Last season's Jonathan Mingo trade served as an example of acquiring a player with contract term remaining. Mingo has had a limited impact in Dallas so far but remains under contract through 2027. Trade chatter currently includes many pending free agents and several defenders, while Dallas has shown interest in high-profile edge rushers to replace production lost when Micah Parsons was traded. Draft capital flexibility could enable a larger swap for a player with term.
