The New York Jets are finally moving on from a former second-round pick.
The Jets plan to release wide receiver Denzel Mims if they fail to find a trade for him, according to Brian Costello of the New York Post. Mims was a second-round pick in the 2020 draft.
The Jets plan on releasing WR Denzel Mims if they can’t find a trade partner first, according to sources. Mims, a 2020 second-round pick, will get a fresh start somewhere else.

Mims put together a promising rookie season in 2020, catching 23 passes for 357 yards. However, he only saw his role decrease after that, as he seemingly fell out of favor with the team’s coaching staff. Things got bad enough in 2022 that he blew up on his coaches and demanded a trade, a request that was ultimately not granted at the time.
Mims has maintained that he had more to offer the Jets than he was allowed to show. If he can find a favorable landing spot, he can still get the chance to prove himself correct.
