Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons says he’s not giving up on the season :: Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Cowboys fans may be ready to bail on the 2024 season, but Parsons says it far from over yet. “We been here before,” he said on his podcast. “The record is 3-5 but there’s a bunch of games here where you say we could’ve won if we done the things the right way.” Parsons is expected to return to the field this Sunday when the division-rival Eagles come to town.
Report: Cowboys trade with Panthers for 2023 second-round WR :: Cowboys Wire
Jerry Jones told a radio audience the Cowboys would be “buyers, not sellers” on Tuesday. Shortly after, the team traded a 2025 fourth-round draft pick to Carolina for wide receiver Jonathan Mingo and a seventh-round selection. Mingo was a pre-draft visitor to the Cowboys in 2023 and was the 39th overall pick that spring. He started 14 games for Carolina last season as a rookie, recording 43 receptions for 418 yards; he has 12 catches for 121 yards through nine games with the Panthers this season.

Jonathan Mingo is no Amari Cooper. While the ex-Raider provided an instant upgrade to the 2018 team and turned a disastrous season around when he arrived, there’s nothing to suggest the 2024 Cowboys are even close to being as good as that team was. “I don’t think it’s as much as what you need, it’s really what’s available and does it help you get better,’’ head coach Mike McCarthy said.

Social media users unloaded on the Cowboys for, according to most, drastically overpaying for Mingo. Many pointed out that the Chiefs got DeAndre Hopkins for less than Dallas paid for Mingo. Many others brought receipts on the bargain-basement price the Cowboys took just to get rid of Amari Cooper. It’s hard to find anyone who liked the trade.
Will trade addition of Jonathan Mingo impact Cowboys draft plans in 2025? :: Cowboys Wire
The addition of Mingo is about the future more than the present. The new wideout has two years left on his rookie contract and figures to be an investment in the Cowboys WR room of 2025 and beyond. With a top-10 draft pick looking increasingly likely, grabbing Mingo now may allow Dallas to get an elite talent at another position of need come April.

To make room for Mingo, Dallas released cornerback Andrew Booth Jr. The former second-round draft pick was obtained from the Vikings in August via trade. He played just 38 defensive snaps (and 25 special-teams snaps) over three game appearances this season, logging a total of six tackles.

The Cowboys also parted ways with Jordan Phillips, the 10-year veteran who played in the first two games of the season and then went on injured reserve with a wrist issue he claimed to know nothing about. Phillips has already hinted on social media that he’ll head back to Buffalo, the team he was with last season.
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is going to IR with leg injury :: Cowboys Wire
Already ruled out of Week 10’s game, Prescott will miss even more time. Jerry Jones suggested that Prescott will move to injured reserve with a hamstring injury and be required to miss at least four games. Now the Cowboys must decide how much playing time to give Trey Lance in addition to backup Cooper Rush over the next month.

The Cowboys owner teased the possibility of using Lance in creative ways during Prescott’s absence. “There are things we can do with him that I think can add punch to the offense,” Jones stated. Lance did not impress as a passer during the preseason, but his running skills proved legitimate. Could Dallas utilize him similar to the way the Saints have deployed Taysom Hill?
DeMarvion Overshown has been one of the few bright spots for the Cowboys in 2024 :: Blogging the Boys
The second-year linebacker (who’s actually in his first season on the field after last year’s ACL injury) put up season-high numbers on Sunday and may have been the Cowboys’ best defensive player. Overshown currently stands second on the team in tackles and could be in line to become the leader of the LB room as early as 2025.
