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.
