The New York Giants, Washington Commanders and Buffalo Bills still need help at wide receiver as we prepare to turn the page to the second week of free agency.
The Giants lost Wan'Dale Robinson to the Tennessee Titans and have only made minor moves up until this point with the signings of Calvin Austin and Isaiah Hodgins, which still leaves New York in need of a true No. 2 target.
In Buffalo, the acquisition of DJ Moore in a trade with the Chicago Bears will help, but the Bills could still use more firepower at the position for Josh Allen.
As for the Commanders, they have also been busy in free agency the last few days, but none of the guys they signed are sufficient for the No. 2 role across from Terry McLaurin.
Chances are all three teams have had their eye on Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., who has had trade rumors swirling around him all offseason long.
However, NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe is hearing that at least one team that has called the Jaguars about Thomas didn't feel like Jacksonville will actually trade him.
"I checked around the league, one AFC team told me they called Jacksonville about Brian Thomas Jr. and they told me it went nowhere," Wolfe reported "They said there's no discussion going on from there."
That doesn't surprise us one bit.
After all, it would be foolish for the Jaguars to give up on Thomas, who showed immense potential during his rookie campaign before struggling in 2025.
Even Jaguars general manager James Gladstone called rumors surrounding the team's potential interest in trading the former first-round pick "fraudulent."
"I know the word 'reputable' came up earlier [in a previous question]. I don't think there's been any reputable statement [that the Jaguars were shopping Thomas]," he said. "We don't have any real action on any of those fronts. And you think back to where we landed at the end of the season, where our passing attack was, we have no interest in disrupting the momentum.
