Brian Thomas Jr. trade rumors heat up as insider links 2 NFL teams

ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler insisted that it’s possible Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. could be traded by the Nov. 10 deadline, with two teams named as possibilities.

Thomas only has 105 yards and a touchdown so far this season and hasn’t recorded a catch in the last two games despite getting five targets. Where might he land?

While we’re sure other teams are interested, Fowler specifically mentioned the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers as possible Thomas suitors. We’re assuming the price would be a second-round draft pick, which is roughly what it took to get Marvin Harrison Jr. to the Houston Texans earlier this month.

Thomas Jr. would be an intriguing fit with either Kansas City or Pittsburgh, as his 2004 1,282-yard, 10-touchdown rookie season was just in 2024. It’s very possible he could regain that level of play with a new team.

We’ll see what happens with Thomas Jr. and the Jaguars as we get closer to this year’s NFL trade deadline.

Who is Jacksonville’s top receiver?
