Overview
- SNY's Connor Hughes reported the Jaguars are listening on Brian Thomas Jr., a shift from last season when inquiries were rebuffed at the trade deadline.
- The Jets and Giants are exploring a deal, per Hughes and ESPN's Rich Cimini, while other outlets have suggested additional potential suitors as speculation builds.
- No trade has been agreed, and CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones said it would be a surprise if Jacksonville moved the 2024 first-rounder.
- Thomas followed a 1,282-yard Pro Bowl rookie year with 707 yards and two touchdowns in 2025, a decline tied to an ankle absence, a higher drop rate (13.8% per PFF) and reduced targets.
- He remains attractive on a rookie contract with two seasons of team control plus a fifth-year option, and Hughes indicated a deal could happen for a reasonable price.
