Patriots Considered Potential Trade Partner For Jaguars Star WR
- ESPN insiders listed Brian Thomas Jr. as the top trade target, with the Patriots among teams with a 20% chance to acquire him this offseason.
- Thomas posted a strong rookie season in 2024 but struggled in 2025, with a league-leading 10 drops on 91 targets.
- Jacksonville would require substantial draft capital and veteran pieces in any potential deal for Thomas.
- New England could pair Brian Thomas Jr. with Stefon Diggs in a Drake Maye–led offense if a deal materializes.
- The tampering period begins March 9, after which more concrete trade discussions are expected.
- Thomas had a strong rookie year in 2024 but his 2025 numbers declined amid target competition from teammates.
- If traded, Jacksonville would likely demand significant draft capital and other assets from New England.
- New England’s cap space could accommodate Thomas, per projected 2026 numbers.
- The Jaguars still hold leverage due to Thomas’s rookie production and two years left on his contract.
- If a deal happens, the Patriots could feature Maye, Diggs, and a revamped receiving corps in 2026.
