The Lions acquired Mims from the Jets on Wednesday, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports. New York will receive a 2025 conditional sixth-round draft pick while sending back a 2025 seventh-round pick to Detroit, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
In an effort to drum up last-minute trade interest, the Jets made it public earlier Wednesday that they would cut Mims if a trade didn't materialize. The Cowboys were one of the teams linked to a Mims trade, but Detroit closed the deal, giving the 2020 second-round receiver a needed change of scenery. Buried on the depth chart in New York, the 6-foot-3, 207-pound Mims caught just 42 passes for 676 scoreless yards in 30 games over his first three seasons. With the Lions, Mims will try to carve out a role on the perimeter, where he'll compete with the likes of Marvin Jones, Josh Reynolds, and Kalif Raymond while Jameson Williams is suspended for the first six weeks of the season.
