Denzel Mims, a former New York Jets receiver selected in the 2020 NFL Draft, is joining the Dallas Cowboys as he attempts to return to the NFL after time away from the league. Multiple outlets report that Mims comes to Dallas following a stint in the UFL, where he continued his playing career while seeking another opportunity at the highest level. The reports frame his move as a comeback attempt, following an early NFL tenure that did not match expectations after his draft selection by the Jets.
As of the latest reports, details beyond the signing—such as his role, depth-chart position, or timeline to make an impact—are not consistently specified across sources. The common thread is that the Cowboys are adding Mims after his UFL experience, and Mims is working to re-establish himself in the NFL.
