2021 has been a season lacking in positives for the Jets, but there may be a foundation in place for their offense. According to ESPN’s Rich Cimini, rookie quarterback Zach Wilson has shown enough, especially recently, to be trusted as the team’s signal-caller going forward. The pieces around Wilson, however, are the cause for a great deal of speculation and debate, particularly when it comes to Denzel Mims. 
As Cimini notes, Wilson’s last four games have been much cleaner than the beginning of his rookie campaign, as he has avoided throwing an interception in a span of 135 pass attempts. While his overall stats for the season – a 56.7% completion percentage, 2247 passing yards and only eight touchdowns in 12 games – don’t leap off the page for the No. two overall pick, they also show the need for GM Joe Douglas to upgrade the Jets’ pass-catching corps.
Fellow rookie Elijah Moore and free-agent signing Corey Davis are likely to be in the Big Apple long term, but since the fall rumors have swirled that Mims – a second-round pick out of Baylor in 2020 – is on the way out. After making the 53-man roster by a slimmer margin than expected to start the year, frustrations quickly mounted regarding a lack of playing time and targets, leading many to believe a change of scenery could be in order.
Then, as the trade deadline approached and the Jets were out of contention, speculation ramped up again that Mims, along with pending free-agent Jamison Crowder, could be moved. Instead, he stayed put, and has played just 38% of the team’s offensive snaps in 2021. That’s led to a disappointing stat line of eight catches for 133 yards and no touchdowns. With the aforementioned Moore and Davis in the mix, along with the breakout dual-threat Braxton Berrios – whom Cimini insists the Jets should re-sign – not to mention any potential high draft picks in April, the road to more opportunities from HC Robert Saleh is likely to be a long one for Mims going forward.
Mims for Reagor
I won’t mind the Bears taking a chance on him. Dude has talent, just needs to stay healthy and put it all together.
Bears traded their draft capital to the other New York team so they’ll have to settle for free agent upgrades until 2023 when the rebuild will commence in earnest.
If the Jets look to cut bait and sell low, it probably wouldn’t cost the Bears much.
I could see the Jets offering Mims to WFT for Wilson’s college teammate, Dax Milne, if Mims really doesn’t fit in their plans.
It may just be that hes not smart enough to play in the NFL Sadly most other teams knew that , which could be why he fell in the draft
Such a soap opera. Just the jets being the jets lol
