Jets to Release Denzel Mims if no Trade Partner is Found

It appears the Jets are going to put an end to a years long project and release Denzel Mims if no trade partner is found.  This, according to Brian Costello of the New York Post.  The wide receiver has struggled mightily over the past three seasons, seemingly amassing more drops and penalty flags than receptions.  Plenty of talent

but didn’t work out.

It’s a disappointing end for a player who showed flashes as a rookie out of Baylor just a few seasons ago but fizzled in his past two seasons.  In fact, Mims played just 9 games as a rookie and had more yards (357) than he would post in his next 21 games (319).

Don’t be surprised if a team who loved Mims coming out of college is willing to give up a day 3 pick for a player who they may view as a prospect who was in the wrong place at the wrong time with Gang Green.

The Jets have also reportedly informed Mims of their plans and excused him from reporting to training camp to likely avoid any issues or injuries while the team shops him.
