Jacksonville Jaguars general manager has confirmed the team will not trade wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. following the NFL trade deadline, according to a report from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The decision comes amid speculation linking the receiver to the Pittsburgh Steelers as a potential trade target.
Fowler reported that the Jaguars intend to keep Thomas Jr. on their roster for the remainder of the season. The 2024 first-round pick has emerged as a key offensive weapon for Jacksonville, and the organization views him as a foundational piece for the future.
The trade deadline passed without a move for Thomas Jr., ending weeks of rumors about a possible deal to Pittsburgh. The Steelers had been mentioned as a suitor seeking receiver depth, but Jacksonville's stance remained firm.
