After being selected by the Jets three years ago, the Denzel Mims era has reportedly come to an end.
The Jets traded Mims and a seventh-round pick to the Lions for a conditional sixth-rounder, according to SNY and NFL Network.
On Wednesday, the Jets excused Mims from reporting to training camp as the team told the wide receiver they would try to trade him. If the Jets couldn’t deal him, they would have simply released Mims, as he would have been placed on waivers for any team to claim him.
