Jaguars Take Calls on WR Brian Thomas Jr. as Trade Deadline Approaches

A deal is viewed as unlikely due to his rookie contract value plus concerns about thinning the receiver group.

Overview

  • The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reported Jacksonville is fielding inquiries rather than actively shopping the second-year wideout.
  • Potential suitors discussed in coverage include the Steelers, Bills and Giants based on roster needs and contract fit.
  • Russini also reported the Jaguars are exploring defensive additions ahead of the deadline.
  • Thomas has 27 receptions for 365 yards and one touchdown this season after a 1,282-yard rookie year, with reports noting a league-high drop rate.
  • NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport has reported Pittsburgh is in the market for a receiver, aligning with speculation about their interest in Thomas.
