  5. WR Jonathan Mingo to the Cowboys Dallas Cowboys got: WR Jonathan Mingo, 2025 seventh-round pick Carolina Panthers got: 2025 fourth-round pick Trade date: Nov. 5 Original grade for the Cowboys: D+ New grade for the Cowboys: F Original grade for the Panthers: A New grade for the Panthers: A Sometimes trades seem inexplicable because we don't have all the information (see Johnson, Diontae). But sometimes a team simply made an inexplicable choice. That's the case here. At the time of this deal, the Cowboys were 3-5 and quarterback Dak Prescott had just suffered a hamstring injury that would eventually cost him the rest of the season. That doesn't prevent them from making a deadline deal, but the return should have been great. It wasn't. Mingo's numbers at the time of the trade were rough: 0.8 yards per route run over the first season and a half of his career and, at the time of the deal, an open score that would have ranked 110th out of 111 wide receivers had he played enough to qualify. It turns out those numbers were a sign of what was to come. Mingo managed five receptions for 46 yards ... over eight games with the Cowboys. He has been on injured reserve because of a knee injury and has yet to play this season. There's nothing wrong with taking a swing on a young player who hasn't lived up to his draft stock. It's just that the price was way too high. And that was especially true considering how little the second half of last season meant for Dallas. Carolina deserves credit for recognizing the value of the offer and cutting their losses -- getting a fourth- and seventh-round swap for their 2023 second-round pick was a gift.
  6. WR Diontae Johnson to the Ravens Baltimore Ravens got: WR Diontae Johnson, 2025 sixth-round pick Carolina Panthers got: 2025 fifth-round pick Trade date: Oct. 29 Original grade for the Ravens: A New grade for the Ravens: C Original grade for the Panthers: D New grade for the Panthers: B+ I didn't understand this deal when it was made. Johnson was decent for Carolina (357 receiving yards in seven games), had previously demonstrated a high-end ability to get open and looked like a valuable addition to the Ravens' receiver room. And the cost to acquire him -- a fifth- and sixth-round pick swap -- was nothing compared to Johnson's talent. What I didn't know at the time was that Johnson was in the midst of flaming himself out of the league. After playing 39 snaps and having one reception for the Ravens, the team suspended him for a December game after he refused to enter the team's contest against the Eagles. Later that month, the Ravens waived him. Johnson was then picked up by the Texans and played two games for them -- including a wild-card win over the Chargers -- and caught three passes. The Texans cut Johnson before the divisional round. He was claimed by the Ravens in an attempt to land a compensatory pick for him as a pending unrestricted free agent. He signed with the Browns this offseason but failed to make the team, despite Cleveland needing receiving talent. In retrospect, it's clear there were off-field factors at play that led to Carolina deciding it was ready to move on. That explains not just the trade, but the return. This was clearly a failed deal for Baltimore, but the cost was minimal -- hence the "C" I handed it on the regrade.
  7. Absolutely. Texans have a terrific team, on paper. Their major weakness is their terrible o-line. C.J. is a fine young QB but pressure up the middle has always been his kryptonite even back at Ohio State days
  8. Buccaneers WR Mike Evans is expected to miss “most of the year” after suffering a broken collarbone in Week 7 against the Lions. Per me
  9. Bryce Young injured his right ankle during the Week 2 game against the New Orleans Saints in the 2023 NFL season. The injury caused him to miss the following week’s game against the Seattle Seahawks but he was back for week 4
  10. Tampa Bay has been absolutely killing the draft the past 5 years. They have found core players round 1 thru 7 every year.
  11. Player Defensive Snaps Special Teams Snaps Nick Scott 61 (100%) 8 (35%) Mike Jackson 61 (100%) 3 (13%) Jaycee Horn 61 (100%) Tre'von Moehrig 61 (100%) Trevin Wallace 61 (100%) Chau Smith-Wade 45 (74%) 7 (30%) Christian Rozeboom 45 (74%) 6 (26%) DJ Wonnum 43 (70%) Derrick Brown 41 (67%) 3 (13%) Nic Scourton 40 (66%) 3 (13%) Tershawn Wharton 35 (57%) 3 (13%) A'Shawn Robinson 31 (51%) 3 (13%) Lathan Ransom 20 (33%) 14 (61%) Princely Umanmielen 20 (33%) 2 (9%) Bobby Brown III 15 (25%) 3 (13%) LaBryan Ray 13 (21%) Boogie Basham 10 (16%) 2 (9%) Thomas Incoom 8 (13%) 20 (87%) Tershawn Wharton came back after missing two games with a toe injury and played over half the snaps (57 percent), more than any lineman other than Derrick Brown (67 percent). Princely Umanmielen came back from getting treated for a back injury, but still played a third of the snaps (20). That's toughness. While he was out, they used both Boogie Basham (10) and Thomas Incoom (eight), at times having the practice squader and the special teamer on the field together. That's trust. Lathan Ransom played a bigger role this week, also playing a third of the snaps. His usage will likely vary week to week depending on matchups. Player Special Teams Snaps Claudin Cherelus 20 (87%) Bam Martin-Scott 17 (74%) Maema Njongmeta 17 (74%) Akayleb Evans 14 (61%) JJ Jansen 9 (39%) Sam Martin 9 (39%) Corey Thornton 8 (35%) Ryan Fitzgerald 7 (30%) Demani Richardson 4 (17%) Nick Samac 3 (13%) Jake Curhan 3 (13%) Yosh Nijman 3 (13%)
  12. Snap Counts Take a look at the snap counts and playtime percentage for the Panthers in Week 7 of the regular season against the Jets. Player Offensive Snaps Special Teams Snaps Austin Corbett 71 (100%) 3 (13%) Brady Christensen 71 (100%) 3 (13%) Ikem Ekwonu 71 (100%) 3 (13%) Taylor Moton 71 (100%) 3 (13%) Cade Mays 71 (100%) Tetairoa McMillan 62 (87%) Xavier Legette 57 (80%) Bryce Young 49 (69%) Tommy Tremble 47 (66%) 3 (13%) Chuba Hubbard 38 (54%) 1 (4%) Rico Dowdle 33 (46%) 2 (9%) Mitchell Evans 31 (44%) 3 (13%) Ja'Tavion Sanders 26 (37%) 12 (52%) Jalen Coker 26 (37%) 1 (4%) Andy Dalton 22 (31%) Brycen Tremayne 16 (23%) 17 (74%) Jimmy Horn 15 (21%) 4 (17%) Trevor Etienne 4 (6%) 7 (30%)
