Cowboys Trade for Jonathan Mingo

Please tell me you’re joking 

About which part of the post?

Blazing Saddles would get made today and be a vastly different movie if the studios thought it would make money. And considering Brooks' age, he wouldn't be the writer, so not as funny.

As for the Space Balls sequel, Brooks isn't writing it. He's getting paid for his name and a producer credit. Josh Gad and two-three others are writing it, so yeah, it's not going to be that funny.

The space balls part. It sounds not funny.

Even though a ravens 5th and a panthers 6th is like 3-7 picks apart?

Even if they win it all and we have the #1 pick, it would still be about 10 picks because of the compensatory picks

But it still was a terrible trade, just sayin, it’s probably going to end up about a dozen or so picks better, not that it means anything at that point in the draft anyways.

Addition by subtraction. He did not want to be here and we were not resigning him. The unbelievable part is we got a 4th for Mingo.

A rare win for the Panthers in a trade, though I will stand by what I've always felt about Mingo.  He's got potential that this team simply could not harness.

Dallas sure as hell won’t

I hope his career works out for him. I personally don't feel he is a very good NFL caliber WR at all and a complete wasted draft pick but no reason to hate on him. I don't know what kept Mingo from putting it together and becoming something here but I definitely think it was time for him to move on away from here especially with Coker's potential coming to light. I sure hope that 4th rounder we got for him is used on a pick that will make a difference with the team to somehow feel better about drafting yet another WR that just didn't work out here.

Yeah. Great athlete. Not an NFL wide receiver. Honestly think he'd be better on defense. In the future, carolina needs to make sure receiver prospects actually have ball skills. How does he track the ball, does he catch with his hands, does he highpoint balls, does he catch low passes, does he catch in traffic? Maybe start there. Then field awareness and route running. All of that is infinitely more important than size and 40 time.

Been saying this, it fits here: the guys running the offense have their roots in WRs. We should get different evaluation moving forward.

I think the XL pick had helping Bryce as the top priority, but it is looking okay. The Coker acquisition shows they are competent at least. I am more a cynic than an optimist but think some optimism is in order at least on that count.

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
