The Story in 60 Seconds

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. could emerge as a potential trade candidate following ongoing on-field struggles, according to a report by Carlos Sanchez. After an impressive rookie season that drew comparisons to Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase, the former 2024 first-round pick experienced regression during the 2025 campaign.

Although Thomas displayed improved route running and connection with quarterback Trevor Lawrence during summer training camp, his persistent issues with drops resurfaced in a recent loss to the Denver Broncos. Despite Jacksonville previously refusing to sell low during the offseason, continued difficulties may prompt team leadership to reconsider trading the wideout.
