ESPN insiders float Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. in trade chatter

Snap share at 47.3% as role shrinks in Jacksonville

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated 59m1 min read

What happened: ESPN insiders flagged Thomas, who remains on the trade radar as the receiver rival teams ask about most. Jacksonville has so far held firm on keeping the 2024 first-round pick.

Why it matters: Thomas's role has shrunk to a 47.3% snap share with one deep target. Moving a cost-controlled former first-round pick would reshape Jacksonville's receiver room.

By the numbers: Thomas caught 48 passes for 707 yards and 2 touchdowns across 14 games in 2025. Drafted 23rd overall out of LSU in 2024; 2026 snap share sits at 47.3% with one deep target.

What to watch: Jacksonville's stance and Thomas's snap counts ahead of the deadline will show whether talks advance.
