DENZEL MIMS NEWS

Cut by Jacksonville The Jaguars released Mims on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact A second-round draft pick of the Jets in 2020, Mims boasts an intriguing size and speed profile but hasn't been able to translate it into meaningful success at the NFL level. The 26-year-old Mims hasn't seen NFL action since the 2022 season and could be running out of opportunities. He's now been cut by three organizations since the Jets traded him to the Lions last summer, with Detroit, Pittsburgh and Jacksonville having moved on from Mims without him having appeared in a regular-season game.

Let go by Pittsburgh The Steelers waived Mims on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Mims spent his first three seasons with the Jets before being traded to Detroit in July of 2023. The 2020 second-round was eventually waived with a calf injury by the Lions ahead of last season. He then went unsigned before linking up with Pittsburgh's practice squad in October, tough he never appeared in a game for the Steelers during the 2023 campaign and signed a future/reserves contract in January. Mims recorded 11 catches for 186 yards over 10 games during the 2022 season.

No TDs through three seasons Mims wasn't targeted in Sunday's 11-6 loss to the Dolphins.

Impact He finishes the season with 11 catches for 186 yards on 25 targets. Since being selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Mims has yet to score a touchdown in 30 career games. He received opportunities earlier in the season when the Jets dealt with injuries to other wideouts but struggled to do much with his chances while battling drops. It's hard to describe Mims as anything but a bust at this point, and given that he doesn't contribute on special teams, the 25-year-old wide receiver will be a candidate to get cut in training camp this summer barring a noticeable improvement during the Jets' offseason program.

Targeted once in Week 17 Mims didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 23-6 loss to Seattle.

Impact Mims suited up after clearing concussion protocol but played a minimal role with each of New York's top three wide receivers healthy. The disappointing second-round selection from the 2020 NFL Draft will likely remain buried in a depth role when the Jets close their season out in Miami in Week 18.

Clears concussion protocol Mims (concussion) will play Sunday against the Seahawks, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Impact Mims will be back on the field Sunday after he missed the Jets' Week 16 loss to the Jaguars while recovering from the concussion he sustained the week prior versus Detroit. With New York in a must-win situation, they'll get some added depth at wide receiver with Mims' return. The 25-year-old has compiled 11 catches for 186 yards over eight contests this season.
