The piece cites a .446 win‑percentage, recent coaching missteps by Demeco Ryans, Matt Burke, and Nick Caley, and a lack of offensive line development as key factors. It warns the team must overhaul its staff during the bye week to avoid cementing the ‘worst franchise’ label and perhaps finally reach a Super Bowl.

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. Kansas City needs receiver depth after injuries, Pittsburgh eyes him as a fit, and San Francisco could use a replacement for the injured Mike Evans.

Brian Thomas Jr. isn't sweating any trade rumors as he continues to have a background role in the Jacksonville Jaguars' offense.
The Buffalo Bills have opened a 21‑day practice window for wide receiver Tyrell Shavers, who tore his ACL during the January wild‑card win over the Jaguars. After surgery and rehab, Shavers—an undrafted former San Diego State and Alabama player—could return to action within three weeks. He impressed last season with a 69‑yard touchdown in his debut and logged 15 catches for 245 yards in 2025. Coach Joe Brady also noted that safety Jordan Hancock’s window remains closed as he recovers from a hamstring injury.
Wide receiver Josh Downs has officially requested a trade from the Indianapolis Colts, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports. The 25‑year‑old, entering the final year of his rookie deal, made the move a day after the Colts dealt guard Quenton Nelson and DT DeForest Buckner, amid a front‑office shake‑up and a 2‑5 record. Downs, who has 26 catches for 307 yards and a career‑low 56.5% catch rate this season, said he’s “open to whatever” but remains focused on the upcoming game against Jacksonville.

Colts slot receiver Josh Downs, a 2023 third‑round pick who posted 72 catches for 803 yards in 2024, formally requests a trade amid Indianapolis’ post‑GM fire sale. With the Steelers nursing injuries to Roman Wilson, Michael Pittman Jr. and Ben Skowronek, they emerge as a top suitor, while the Chiefs and Jacksonville’s Brian Thomas Jr. also show interest. 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.
