The Denver Broncos have made waves by bringing in star wide receiver Jaylen Waddle from the Miami Dolphins. This move has sparked chatter about the future of Marvin Mims Jr., who might find himself on the trading block as the draft approaches in Pittsburgh.
Pro Football Focus's John Kosko highlights Mims as a prime trade asset for the Broncos. With Waddle's arrival, Denver's receiver lineup is undeniably stacked, making it plausible that a young talent like Mims or Troy Franklin could be on the move.
While Mims hasn't been a dominant force in the receiving game yet, his prowess as a return specialist is undeniable. Leading the league in punt return yards in 2025 with 452 yards, Mims has earned two Pro Bowl selections and was a first-team All-Pro in 2024, following a second-team nod in his rookie year, 2023.
Mims' potential as a receiver shouldn't be overlooked. If the Broncos decide to entertain trade offers, the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers are logical suitors.
The Patriots, looking to bolster their receiving corps alongside Romeo Doubs and Kayshon Boutte, could see Mims thrive in their system. His addition would also be a significant boost to Mike Vrabel and Jeremy Springer's special teams unit.
Pittsburgh, with DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. leading their receiving group, could benefit from Mims' speed. His ability to stretch the field would be a welcome asset for Mike McCarthy's offense.
Despite the buzz around Waddle, the Broncos might still see Mims as a key piece for the future. However, should they choose to explore a trade, both the Patriots and Steelers would be wise to pursue this talented, multi-time Pro Bowler.
