In a surprising move, the Jacksonville Jaguars have cut wide receiver Denzel Mims. This comes the same day as the Miami Dolphins cut quarterback Mike White. Inside, we examine why the Jaguars did so and what it means moving forward for Mims and the club.
Mims’ Path To Jacksonville Jaguars
Denzel Mims was a promising New York Jets second-round pick in 2020. This began a roller-coaster ride for the career of Mims as he started his NFL journey with a lot of potential, following a great college one at Baylor. He has a lot of speed and size, standing at 6-foot-3 with a time of 4.39 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine.
As physically gifted as he was, Mims never quite found his feet under him in the NFL. He played in just 30 games for the Jets, catching just 42 balls for 676 yards—not quite what they’d ideally have liked for a third-round pick, though they jettisoned him to Detroit last year.
A New Opportunity with the Jaguars
In June, there was a certain sense of hope that Mims would be able to have another opportunity to start anew in his life. He signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars after being released by the Steelers, and he was handsome in his fighting disposition. Mims was sprinting full in the training camp and looking good. But, again, his stay was not long.
The Jaguars might have left Mims due to a myriad of reasons. One, the Jaguars team does have serious competition over the wide receiver positions now and then. Mims needed to come out as the best of many other players in this position to warrant a place on the roster. The Jaguars are in a position to draft or sign any other player they feel can be a better player than him. Besides this, the Jaguars might have felt that other players showcased more potential or fit better with their current strategies.
With Mims now released, he will be in the market for a new team, one that will provide the chances he has longed for years. Mims would find a team that would give him more chances and an environment he would rely on to shape his career skills.
Impact on the Jaguars
By parting ways with Mims, the Jaguars now potentially free up a spot for a player who may be able to better serve them and their plans for the coming season. The organization is not averse to making tough choices in their zeal to make a team that can truly compete. This move is another reflection of our commitment to choosing the best.
Although Mims is now officially a free agent, the Steelers are still on the hunt to fit in the wide receiver group. They are keen on evaluating other players and might pull some trades or make additional acquisitions as the season nears. His release to free agency may open the door for new talent or a shake-up in their lineup.
In Conclusion
Another dark turn in the hope of Mims as a Jaguar finally emerged. He had no permanent roster spot anywhere. Moving forward with the Jaguars will be Mims’s biggest challenge and chance to leave another stamp on the world. This comes as the Jaguars go on with the building process to yield a mighty and successful team. Whether Mims finds a new home quickly or continues to find many hurdles on his way, his journey is one of many lessons that point out how the world of professional sports can be very unpredictable.
