Brian Thomas Jr.’s name is popping up in trade conversations all over the league right now, and teams desperate for a wide receiver are definitely paying attention. This isn’t just whispers, folks, this is the real deal as the NFL trade deadline gets closer.
The Jaguars’ Surprise Trade Target
Seriously, The Athletic’s Jonathan Jones reported Saturday that Thomas Jr. is a hot topic, even as Parker Washington solidifies his spot as the Jaguars’ top wideout. Think about that: a 4-1 team has a guy they might move! And get this, the price tag for Thomas Jr. could be climbing thanks to the Texans giving up a 2027 second-round pick for Marvin Harrison Jr. That’s a big deal, setting a new benchmark for receiver trades. But don’t expect the Jags to just dump him. Jones predicted they won’t be in any rush, which makes sense for a team that’s 4-1 and looking at a potential playoff run this winter.
Jauan Jennings Rumors: Staying Put in Minnesota?
It’s not just Thomas Jr. either. Tom Pelissero, the NFL insider, dropped news on his Substack the same day that Jauan Jennings from the Minnesota Vikings has also “been the subject of trade speculation.” But hold your horses, wideout-hungry squads! Pelissero thinks Jennings is gonna stay put. Why? Because the Vikings, who are absolutely rolling at 5-0, still believe he can help them, and Jennings himself wants to be in Minnesota. So while his name is out there, it sounds like he’s staying put to help that 5-0 squad keep their perfect record going for a potential playoff run this winter.
With the November 10th trade deadline looming, teams like the Jaguars and Vikings are looking to bolster their lineups for those potential playoff runs. It’s a crazy time in the league, with contenders making moves and rumors flying. Meanwhile, back here in the Emerald City, our own Seahawks just dropped a tough one, 14-17 to the Denver Broncos. A loss stings, especially this early in the season. Every game matters right now as teams figure out who they are. What does this mean for our Hawks moving forward? We gotta see what Mike Macdonald and Brian Fleury cook up next to get us back on track.
