Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones promised that his team would be active during the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday and although he lived up to that promise, the Cowboys might have been better off if he didn't.

Jones, who has been criticized throughout the year over personnel moves — or lack thereof — had NFL execs and talent evaluators scratching their heads over the Cowboys’ decision to give Carolina draft capital for Mingo, a second-year wideout who has 12 receptions for 121 yards this season.

Dan Quinn and the Commanders made a blockbuster trade that only adds more embarrassment to the Cowboys' season.
