The NFL\u2019s<\/a> new league year brings a wave of free-agent signings and plenty of phone calls between teams. The main reason for those calls? To find out which players might be available via trade.<\/p>\n

The Jacksonville Jaguars have recently found themselves at the center of one notable rumor. Reports have linked 2024 first-round pick Brian Thomas Jr. to potential trade discussions.<\/p>\n

The talented wide receiver would almost certainly draw interest around the league. On Thursday, Jaguars general manager James Gladstone offered a quick and direct update on Thomas\u2019 status.<\/p>\n

Right now, the Jaguars have no intention of trading Thomas. After making a playoff run, the team appears focused on keeping one of its key offensive weapons.<\/p>\n

Thomas, a former LSU standout, experienced a bit of a sophomore slump last season. Even so, he has continued to serve as a reliable target for quarterback Trevor Lawrence.<\/p>\n

In 2024, Thomas recorded 87 receptions for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns. His rookie campaign also earned him Pro Bowl honors.<\/p>\n

Fantasy football managers<\/a> could see a bounce-back season from Thomas in 2026. He and Lawrence will enter their second year under head coach Liam Coen\u2019s offense.<\/p>\n

Now the question becomes: Can Thomas deliver a strong third season and put the 2025 struggles \u2014 and the trade rumors\u2014behind him?<\/p>\n
