FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- On the day they opened training camp with Aaron Rodgers-fueled optimism, the New York Jets are parting ways with a disappointing draft pick from their recent past.
Wide receiver Denzel Mims, a second-round selection in 2020 who never gained traction with the Jets' current coaching staff, was informed that he will be waived if he is not traded, a source confirmed Wednesday to ESPN.
The Jets are trying to trade Mims, who requested a trade one year ago but will be placed on waivers if New York is unable to reach a deal with another team.
