What happened: The Chiefs, Steelers and Commanders have interest in Jaguars receiver Brian Thomas Jr., per ProFootballTalk. The 2024 first-rounder is said to be open to a fresh start after not clicking with the coaching staff that arrived in 2025. Pittsburgh has greater interest in Colts receiver Josh Downs, who is Kansas City's fallback if Thomas can't be pried loose.

Why it matters: Jacksonville is 5-2 and holds the No. 4 seed, so it has little reason to sell without a big offer, and its asking price reportedly doesn't match Thomas' current usage. The Jaguars also have to weigh whether to send him to an AFC contender such as Kansas City. Washington would presumably be buying for 2027 and 2028, once the fifth-year option is exercised. Kansas City's interest in Thomas has been building ahead of the Nov. 10 deadline.

What to watch: Watch whether Jacksonville's price drops before the Nov. 10 deadline, and whether Kansas City pivots to Downs if Thomas stays put.
