The Jaguars have brought in players to bolster the roster for a deep postseason run.
They have no intention of sending one.
Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports that the Jaguars plan to keep receiver Brian Thomas Jr. – barring a surprise.
Thomas has been rumored to be on the trade block mainly due to his lack of production this season. He has received just 22 targets in eight games, catching 10 passes for 117 yards with two touchdowns.
Choice no. 23 overall in the 2024 draft, Thomas caught 87 passes for 1,282 yards with 10 touchdowns as a rookie. But his production dipped last year as well — the first season under coach Liam Coen — with Thomas catching just 48 passes for 707 yards with two TDs.
Even with Fowler’s report, plans can change. If a team is in serious need of a receiver and is willing to shell out, the Jaguars could change their minds about dealing Thomas before the 4pm ET deadline.
