The Jacksonville Jaguars intend to keep wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. through Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET trade deadline, sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
The Kansas City Chiefs, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Washington Commanders were reportedly among the teams with interest in the one-time Pro Bowler.
Thomas exploded for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns during his debut season in 2024, finishing fourth in Offensive Rookie of the Year voting. However, he hasn't found the same success since Liam Coen took over as Jacksonville's head coach in 2025. Thomas managed 707 yards in 14 games last season and has caught just 10 passes in eight appearances in 2026.
In Thursday's win over the Baltimore Ravens, the 24-year-old played just 34% of the Jaguars' offensive snaps and received zero targets.
Thomas has one more season left on his rookie contract plus a fifth-year option for 2028.
Jacksonville plans to keep its roster intact, Fowler adds. The 6-2 Jaguars beefed up their defense Monday by trading for safety Jessie Bates III as well as defensive linemen Jordan Davis and Davon Godchaux.
