Brian Thomas Jr. Trade Linked to Super Bowl Hopefuls in New NFL Rumors, Why Jags 'Relented' Revealed

As Brian Thomas Jr.'s role in the Jacksonville Jaguars offense continues to diminsh, the team appears to be softening in their stance about moving him leading up to the trade deadline on Nov. 10.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler explained on SportsCenter that the Jaguars had "relented" on potentially trading Thomas in the past because of his talent, but now there is a feeling around the NFL that a deal could happen in the next few weeks with teams like the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers in the market for help at receiver:

"Brian Thomas Jr., immensely talented, but I've talked to several teams who believe he could be dealt over the next few weeks. Jacksonville has relented in the past. They've kept him because he's such a big talent. They hoped that his deep threat would balance things out with other receivers. The last two weeks, no catches, had just 15 snaps, so he was essentially benched in that London game against Houston. So, something has to give. There's going to be some interested parties. Kansas City's been looking around at potentially adding a receiver. Pittsburgh to some extent."
