The Dallas Cowboys have signed wide receiver Denzel Mims, who spent the last two seasons in the UFL after struggling in the NFL. Mims, a second-round pick by the Jets in 2020, faced numerous challenges, including injuries and coaching changes. His most promising season was his rookie year, but he has since seen limited action. With one year remaining on his contract and a projected backup role, Mims hopes to capitalize on this opportunity in Dallas to re-establish himself in the league.
