What happened: Wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. has emerged as a top target ahead of the trade deadline as his role in Jacksonville dwindles, per USA Today Sports. The 2024 first-round selection has seen reduced involvement in the offense through the first half of the season.

Why it matters: Selected 23rd overall out of LSU, Thomas represents a high-pedigree vertical option for contending offenses seeking depth at wideout. A deal would allow Jacksonville to recoup draft assets while providing Thomas a fresh start in a different offensive system.

What to watch: NFL front offices have until the Nov. 10 trade deadline to finalize potential deals before rosters freeze for the season.
