The move all but fills a much-needed hole at the wideout position after the departure of D.J. Chark, who left via free agency for the Carolina Panthers, and the suspension of former 2022 first-round pick Jameson Williams who will miss the first six games of the season, due to violating the leagues gambling policy.

Mims accounted for 676 yards on 42 receptions for his career with the Jets.
