It's Tuesday, and it’s trade deadline day in the NFL. The Dallas Cowboys, as always, find themselves at the center of attention in the football world.

Owner Jerry Jones has once again found himself in the crosshairs of NFL fans after making a controversial trade for wide receiver Jonathan Mingo.

The move, which saw the Cowboys surrender a 2025 fourth-round pick to the Carolina Panthers, has been widely criticized for being overpriced and unnecessary for a player who has just 12 receptions through nine games this season.

While Jones pulled off a trade that the long time owner feels confident in, many fans and analysts have taken to social media to jokingly express how they feel following the trade.

Here are the latest social media reactions on Dallas' trade decision.

Jerry Jones playing fantasy football

Jerry Jones is like that fantasy manager in your league that you know you can rob so you make him offers every season. And he always bites.

Jones has made questionable trades before, and likely will again.

In recent years, Jones has made some controversial trades that has seen his team get fleeced, such as sending wide receiver Amari Cooper to the Browns in exchange for a fifth-round pick in 2022 and a swap of sixth-round picks in 2022.

While it may not significantly enhance the Cowboys' wide receiver group, it represents an improvement for Mingo given the Panthers' struggles over the years.

Why should Jerry care?

The Jonathan Mingo trade is the kind of trade made by a man who has no fear of losing his job

Jerry Jones is the Owner/President/GM and because he is, he can be as bad at his job as he wants to be because no one is firing him 😂 #DallasCowboys

No matter what happens, it's Jones' team, and the only ones who will pay the price are the ones beneath his name on the list.
