Jaguars may be done with Brian Thomas Jr., but Trevor Lawrence isn’t

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence voiced strong support for wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. following the team's Week 6 loss to the Houston Texans. Thomas was benched during the game after recording two drops, prompting head coach Liam Coen to state that the receiver needs to make plays. Despite rising trade speculation surrounding Thomas, Lawrence publicly backed his teammate, stating that Thomas is too talented not to bounce back if he keeps working.

Black and Teal writer Carlos Sanchez argues that Jacksonville should consider trading the former first-round pick before the upcoming deadline. Sanchez suggests Thomas could benefit from a fresh start elsewhere and notes that receiver-needy teams across the league would likely show interest.
