I'd sure like to see Caserio make a trade to obtain the services of Jets WR, Denzel Mims. For some crazy reason he's been relegated to the Jets doghouse. He's a backup and it looks like they want to keep him around as a security blanket, but not as a starter. They didn't get any offers they liked so he's stuck in their system for now. I pulled a little snippet from a ESPN interview and just wanted to share b/c I don't get the feeling there's any quit in this guy:
"Of course I'm going to be frustrated that I'm not playing with the starters, but I've got to continue to work," he said.
Mims played some special teams in the preseason, although they're not his forte.
"I have no problem playing special teams, I don't at all, but I feel like I'm a starting receiver," he said.
I have no idea of what the Jets were hoping for in offers, but would a conditional RD3 be too rich? He was a mid RD2 selection (#59) and as it turned out....he just wasn't their bell-cow. This was also made obvious by continued use of draft picks WR's. Mims 2021 season was marred with some minor injuries; August- PS Hip Stain, October- WK8 Finger Injury, and January- WK17 Concussion. Mims might be a guy worth taking a flyer on since RD3 or RD4 may not produce a WR of his caliber.
