Jaguars Trade Deadline Predictions: From Brian Thomas Jr. to Defensive Help

The Jacksonville Jaguars could look very different by Tuesday afternoon, when the NFL trade deadline hits at 4 p.m., and the team’s front office led by James Gladstone has already made deals in the past. After a 6-2 start that has put Jacksonville among the AFC’s best, the key question is whether the Jaguars will act—or stand pat. The most notable speculation involves wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. The prediction offered here is that Jacksonville will not trade him, despite reduced production: in the past month, he has been out-produced in the passing game by Tanner Koziol and has had limited catches since early October. The Jaguars’ scheme and personnel usage are cited as the reason he’s not a prime trade target.
