Jaguars Have No Plans to Trade Brian Thomas

Head coach Liam Coen flatly denied trade rumors Monday, saying the Jacksonville Jaguars have “no plans on moving Brian Thomas Jr.” despite reports the team had been listening to calls. Thomas, a Pro Bowl rookie who had 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2024, has seen his production drop this season to 27 catches for 365 yards and one TD but still leads the team in receiving yards. Media accounts and team statements note persistent issues with drops and occasional concerns about effort, with reported drop totals varying across outlets. The Jaguars used the bye week to dissect and tweak the offense, defense and special teams rather than make major roster moves, and Coen called the bye a “good reset.” Coen expressed confidence that Thomas and the passing game can rebound as Jacksonville prepares to face the Raiders.
