Less than 24 hours after requesting a trade, Jets receiver Denzel Mims is already reportedly on the radar of a potential suitor in the NFC South.
According to The Athletic’s Joe Person, the Panthers have called the Jets about the disgruntled wideout amid his reported desire for a change of scenery. Mims, 24, has previous ties to the club through third-year coach Matt Rhule, who coached the 2020 second-round pick during his three seasons as a starter at Baylor.
Mims, a first-team All-Big 12 selection in 2019, has struggled mightily since entering the NFL two years ago. For his career, the former college star has appeared in just 20 games (11 starts) and recorded 31 receptions for 490 yards with zero touchdowns.
