The New York Jets are determined to part with wideout Denzel Mims this offseason; one way or another.
According to multiple reports, the Jets are currently working on trading Mims. However, the franchise also informed Mims that he would be released if they could not find a trade partner.
Matt Lombardo of Heavy on Sports reported on Wednesday that several teams are interested in Mims, with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New England Patriots being in the mix for the 25-year-old player.
The Jets had big expectations for Mims when they selected him out of Baylor in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. However, it is safe to say that the wideout failed to deliver on those expectations in his three seasons with the team.
Mims has played a total of 30 games since entering the league and has only 46 catches for 676 yards to show for. He is yet to catch his first touchdown pass as a pro.
The New York team has made several additions to their wide receiver corps this offseason, bringing in Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb, and Mecole Hardman. With last year’s first-round pick Garrett Wilson and veteran Corey Davis also on the roster, Mims is a clear odd-man-out.
