Should the New York Jets trade for Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr.?
Should the New York Jets trade for Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr.? The possibility is mentioned.
The New York Jets are still in the market for a starting-caliber wide receiver opposite Garrett Wilson . It's a fairly sizable need for new quarterback Geno Smith, who is a trigger-happy passer. With four picks in the opening 50, the 2026 NFL draft may represent the Jets' best opportunity to address the need once and for all.
Alternatively, general manager Darren Mougey could consider acquiring a veteran wide receiver via trade. ESPN recently accounted for the possibility by raising a good point before listing some potential targets. Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr.
is the most intriguing name listed. "Don't sleep on the possibility of Mougey trading for a veteran [wide receiver]," ESPN wrote . "It's already been an active offseason for wide receiver trades, and you're talking about a GM who has made 12 player trades in a little over a year.
" Thomas was linked to being traded last offseason after getting off to a slow start under the new coaching staff. It's worth noting the Jags drafted cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter at No. 2 overall after aggressively trading up for him.
