What happened: League belief has grown that the Jacksonville Jaguars will trade wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. ahead of the deadline, per Tom Pelissero. Jacksonville had resisted outside interest for over a year, but recent benchings and on-field struggles have accelerated internal willingness to move the wideout.

Why it matters: The 4-2 Jaguars occupy the AFC's No. 4 seed after dropping a 34-31 decision to Houston on Oct. 18. Trading away the 2024 No. 23 overall pick would represent an abrupt shift in Jacksonville's offensive plans while opening up cap and roster flexibility for the remainder of the season.

What to watch: The NFL trade deadline closes on Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET, giving Jacksonville ten days to evaluate trade proposals.
