Trade Talks Heating Up Around Jaguars' Brian Thomas Jr.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler ranks Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. as the league’s No. 2 trade candidate, giving him a 45% chance of moving before the Nov. 10 deadline. After a 1,200‑yard rookie season in 2024, his production dropped to 707 yards in 2025 and just 105 yards with one TD through six games this year. At 24, Thomas is in the third year of a four‑year, $14.38 M contract, and the Chiefs, Steelers and 49ers are listed as likely destinations.

Seven Trade Proposals For Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr.: Take 2
Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr., once a rookie sensation with 1,300 receiving yards and 10 TDs, is now a trade hot‑topic after six games this season yield just nine catches for 105 yards and one score, plus a soaring drop rate that’s hit 25%. Coach Liam Coen publicly backs him, yet Thomas saw zero targets in the last two games and was benched in Week 6.

The article weighs his lingering trade worth against the risk of a costly contract extension.

Downs has 26 receptions for 307 yards in seven games this season and no touchdowns. The trade deadline is Nov. 10, giving interim GM Ed Dodds time to negotiate a return.

The 49ers, fresh off acquiring DE DeForest Buckner, are already eyeing additional upgrades at defensive end and wide receiver. Trade chatter includes Maxx Crosby (if the Raiders budge), Khalil Mack, and Josh Sweat (despite his dip to two sacks in 2026). On the receiver side, the Niners consider Brian Thomas Jr. (Jaguars), Garrett Wilson (Giants), and Josh Downs (Colts), with the latter reportedly seeking a trade. Analysts give Thomas a 45% trade likelihood and Sweat a 40% chance. The piece weighs each prospect’s fit, contract status, and recent production, highlighting the team’s ongoing roster‑building push.
