Jaguars WR coach's ties to Raiders could spark a Brian Thomas Jr. trade swap

The Jacksonville Jaguars could use help at wide receiver at the NFL trade deadline. But in the same breath, a bombshell report suggests that they're actively listening to offers for Brian Thomas Jr. This may look odd at first, but it truly isn't.

Outside of rookie Travis Hunter, the Jags don't truly have a game-changer at receiver. Thomas, in particular, has struggled with drops after taking the league by storm as a rookie. Similarly, Dyami Brown has cooled down after a strong start to the 2024 season.

This begs the question, why not swap receivers with the Las Vegas Raiders and bring in one who flourished under position coach Edgar Bennett?
