As the NFL trade deadline nears, the Jacksonville Jaguars plan to hold on to wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
"The Jaguars plan to keep WR Brian Thomas Jr. through the trade deadline, per sources," Fowler posted on X. "They have relayed that to interested teams. Coming off multiple big trades Monday, Jacksonville plans to keep its roster intact, barring a surprise."

While on Sunday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Jaguars would "listen" to offers
for Thomas, most of the trade talk surrounding the talented wideout has been speculation.
For the most part, reports over the last month have suggested that the Jaguars weren't interested in trading Thomas.
Thomas' fit in Liam Coen's offense has never materialized and his role this season has continued to dwindle. That said, as SI's Albert Breer noted, even if the ball doesn't go his way, there is a lot of value that his field-stretching presence adds to the offense.
Fowler also pointed out recently that with the Jaguars in win-now mode, they are looking to add to their roster, not subtract.
"We're going to do everything in our power to give us the best chance to pursue greatness," Coen said in a team meeting on Monday, a day when the Jaguars made three trades. "That's what we do. That's our job, and we're going to continue to do that as this week goes. We're going to put ourselves in the best chance to succeed in every single decision we make as an organization."
For a team that is now all-in following the Jordan Davis trade, moving on from Thomas midseason doesn't match that approach.
