According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the Jaguars are listening to trade calls for WR Brian Thomas Jr.
Russini says that even if a trade “feels highly unlikely,” the team is at least listening.
The Jaguars are reportedly looking for defensive help right now, per Russini.
Thomas Jr had a breakout season last year for Jacksonville, but it’s been the complete opposite this season. Thomas has struggled quite a bit in Liam Cohen’s offense for whatever reason.
Receivers are always in demand ahead of the deadline, so it’s possible a team could step up and make a serious offer for a young and talented player. Something to at least keep an eye on leading up to the deadline.
Thomas, 23, was a three-year starter at LSU and earned third-team All-American and second-team All-SEC honors in 2023. The Jaguars used the No. 23 pick in the 2024 draft on him.
He’s in the second year of a four-year, $14,383,048 rookie contract that includes a $7,280,399 signing bonus. The contract also includes a fifth-year option for the team to pick up in 2028.
In 2025, Thomas has appeared in all seven games for the Jaguars and caught 27 passes for 365 yards and a touchdown.
