Good morning!
It seems that the Jacksonville Jaguars’ stance on a potential Brian Thomas Jr. trade is, “Unless we hear an offer that’s too good to refuse, we’re happy to hold onto him.” This isn’t a unique situation — any NFL team could say the same about any good player — yet the Thomas trade rumors will not die down. Are you sick of seeing the idea floated in headlines, or are you buying into the smoke? Let us know how you feel in the comments!
Now, for the full roundup.

Jaguars Reacts Survey: Should Jacksonville re-sign its top two free agents? (Big Cat Country)
According to Spotrac, Lloyd has a market value of $20.1 million per year. That’d put him right between Fred Warner ($21 mil) and Roquan Smith ($20 mil) for the league’s highest-paid off-ball linebackers in terms of annual earnings. Ouch!
Jaguars to Make NFL History with Back-to-Back Home Games in London (Big Cat Country)
For the third time in franchise history, the Jacksonville Jaguars will play back-to-back games in the United Kingdom.

3 Predictions for Jaguars’ 2026 London Opponents (Jaguars on SI)
Let me go on the record and say I think it would be a travesty for the Jaguars to lose a home to a divisional foe, but let’s be honest: it seems pretty likely. The Jaguars only have eight home games in 2026, so nearly half that list is already made up by AFC South opponents. Factor in the fact that the Jaguars have one other London game, and are also not going to play the Washington Commanders as a home team, and the Jaguars seem to be on track to play an AFC South foe in London.
7 Combine Questions That Will Shape the Jaguars’ NFL Draft Board (Jaguars on SI)
Getting updated medical information is another important part of the NFL Scouting Combine. and that is no different this year. There are a few impressive players coming off injuries, and one that could be a fascinating option is Louisville wide receiver Chris Bell.

2026 draft prospects get important advice from NFL rookies (ESPN)
“This whole draft process, for me it was a very long process,” said Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten , a fourth-rounder. “You go from training for combine, then you got pro days and then you got 30 visits and then you got rookie minicamp. Then you go straight into OTAs and stuff like that. It’s going to be a long year. So take care of your body, stay in shape. Especially taking 30 visits, you want to work out, you want to run and keep your conditioning up. Once you hit rookie minicamp, it’s rock and rolling from there.”
The Jaguars 2023’ Draft Class is turning out to be one of the franchise’s best (Action Sports Jax)
The Jaguars’ 2023 class was always going to rely heavily on Anton Harrison’s play at tackle, but it’s the arrival and stardom of two Day 3 selections that have taken this class over the top. If Ventrell Miller can prove to be a solid starter at linebacker, this class will boast five quality starters for the Jaguars.
NFL free agency rankings 2026: Best linebackers available (SB Nation)
Devin Lloyd has steadily improved since being drafted in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, and pulled out his best season yet in 2025. The 6’3, 235 former edge rusher can do it all from the linebacker position, but emerged as one of the best coverage LBs in the NFL with five interceptions and just a 57.1 passer rating allowed. Lloyd is a strong blitzer and tackler who delivers the whole package for an NFL defense.
