Inside the Iggles writer Richard Louis argues that the Philadelphia Eagles should consider pursuing a trade for Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. With DeVonta Smith sidelined by a hamstring injury and the Eagles' offense struggling for consistency, Louis suggests Thomas could provide a much-needed spark to the passing attack.

ESPN's Dan Graziano and Jeremy Fowler recently reported that Thomas could be available after falling behind Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers on Jacksonville's depth chart. Thomas recorded 1,282 receiving yards as a rookie in 2024, but his production has declined significantly over the past two seasons under head coach Liam Coen.
