The Dallas Cowboys have a wide receiver problem—and it's the kind of problem every NFL team wants. Jonathan Mingo and Camden Brown have both made compelling cases for the final 53-man roster, but if Dallas only has room for one, who deserves the spot? On this episode of **Locked On Cowboys Hit Podcast**, host James Duncan breaks down one of the Cowboys' most difficult roster decisions: **Jonathan Mingo vs. Camden Brown**. Camden Brown has gone from undrafted rookie to one of the biggest surprises of the Dallas Cowboys preseason. Through his first two preseason games, Brown produced five catches for 139 yards and two touchdowns, averaging an incredible 27.8 yards per reception. His explosive plays against Seattle and Arizona have made him increasingly difficult to ignore. Brown's case isn't simply about preseason hype. He's shown the ability to make contested catches, create explosive plays and give the Cowboys offense another vertical threat. But the biggest question may come on cutdown day: **If Dallas releases Camden Brown, can the Cowboys realistically expect him to clear waivers and return to the practice squad?** Then there's Jonathan Mingo. Mingo brings something completely different to the Cowboys' wide receiver competition. Dallas acquired the former second-round pick with significant NFL experience, size, physicality and potential special-teams value. He also exploded against Arizona with two catches for 62 yards, including a 53-yard touchdown, proving that Mingo can make the same kind of explosive plays that have put Brown in the spotlight. So this isn't simply a battle between a talented rookie and a struggling veteran. It's a genuine roster-building debate. **Camden Brown is the exciting new playmaker. Jonathan Mingo is the player Dallas has already invested in.** James Duncan makes the call—and if he gets only ONE roster spot, he's keeping Camden Brown. But that decision comes with a major risk. If the Cowboys cut Brown, another NFL team could claim him before Dallas ever gets the opportunity to bring him back. At the same time, Mingo's experience and special-teams ability could make him extremely valuable on the back end of the 53-man roster. Could Dallas find a way to keep both? Or does protecting Brown's upside mean making one of the toughest cuts of the Cowboys' preseason? Cowboys Nation, you're the GM. **Jonathan Mingo or Camden Brown—who gets the final roster spot?** And if you're cutting Brown, are you confident he actually makes it through waivers?
