The Detroit Lions have made an acquisition with a lot of upside ahead of training camp.
The Lions have traded a conditional sixth-rounder to the New York Jets for wide receiver Denzel Mims and a seventh-rounder in 2025, according to multiple reports on Wednesday night.
Mims, 25, was a second-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Reports during the day on Wednesday suggested the Jets will waive Mims if the team was unable to find a trade partner.

Mims previously requested a trade last year after struggling to find a groove in the early stages of his career.
