Lawrence acknowledged there were times last season when he and Thomas “weren’t on the same page." There have been trade rumors around Thomas this offseason, but it appears he will remain with Jacksonville. He caught 48 passes in 14 games last season, totaling 707 yards with two touchdowns. He'll be looking to bounce back this year.

The Jets and Giants are expected to be among the teams interested in trading for Brian Thomas Jr.

Thomas reportedly drew trade interest from both the Jets and Giants at the trade deadline last season. The Jaguars seem more open to trading Thomas now compared to then.

Connor Hughes of SNY is reporting that the Jaguars are "entertaining offers” for Brian Thomas.

Jacksonville was receiving offers for Thomas at the trade deadline last year, but they weren't willing to move Thomas. That stance has changed, though it will likely still take a significant offer. With the emergence of Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington, Thomas could be moved if the right offer comes the Jaguars way.
