#1 - He's looking for a trade to get more opportunities.  He's already being run out there for ST duty, which obviously he doesn't want to do.
#2 - We have 3 studs, which means low opportunities available.  He'd have to play ST, which he doesn't want to do.
#3 - If he can't get the opportunities on the Jets....if he can't break through there, then why in the hell would we want him here?

Good luck to him, but he has no business on the Bengals at any cost.

I guess I'm confused by your post.

The thing about opportunities was his agent said Mims has literally gotten zero opportunities with the first team to try and prove himself and that makes it clear that he's not in the Jets future plans.

He's willing to play ST's.  I don't know where you get that he isn't.  His ST's coach with the Jets has been quoted as saying he's trying hard and he's learning.  His agent has said he's willing to do it, as well.

I mean, BJ Hill couldn't break through with the Giants and did fine for us last year.  Lots of folks are pining for Spain to come back and he"s been cast off numerous times.  Keep in mind that the Jets went through a coaching change and the new regime may be focused on their guys.  They have Corey Davis on a good sized contract and have spent a 1st and a 2nd on WR's over the last couple of drafts.  

Also keep in mind that being the WR4 on a SB contender with Joe Burrow as your QB is a much better opportunity than being a WR4 on a cellar dweller like the Jets with Zach Wilson at QB.  

I'm not slamming my fist on the table for the guy, but it seems like some folks just read the headline and made up a story about Mims in their heads.
