NY Jets trade Denzel Mims to Lions for conditional pick

The New York Jets have steadily been dismantling many of their offseason storylines. Add Denzel Mims to that list.

The Jets traded their 2020 second-round pick to the Detroit Lions, as first reported by Connor Hughes. Per Ian Rapoport, the Jets will send Mims and a 2025 seventh-round pick to Detroit for a conditional 2025 sixth-round pick.

Earlier in the day, reports emerged that the Jets planned to release Mims if they could not trade him. They were able to make a deal happen and get something in return.

The Lions have been searching for receiver depth since 2022 first-rounder Jameson Williams garnered a six-game betting suspension.
