NFL Deadline Heats Up: Stars on the Move?
30 Oct
Summary
- NFL trade deadline sees increased player movement.
- Colts and Titans made significant player trades.
- Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. is a trade candidate.
The NFL trade deadline on November 10 is poised to be one of the most active in recent history, with a notable increase in significant player movement. As of October 30, 2026, teams like the Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans have already made considerable trades, sending away star players for draft picks.
The Jacksonville Jaguars, currently performing as a Super Bowl contender, are expected to be aggressive buyers. However, they also face a critical decision regarding embattled wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. Despite his talent, Thomas has underperformed and was benched during a recent game, fueling speculation about a potential trade.
ESPN analysts Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano, citing multiple sources, believe Brian Thomas Jr. is the most likely player to be traded. They suggest a change of scenery could benefit the young receiver, similar to situations involving other talented but struggling players. Other potential trade candidates mentioned include Vikings receiver Jauan Jennings and Cardinals edge rusher Josh Sweat.
While the Jaguars are in a competitive window, moving Thomas could be mutually beneficial, allowing him a fresh start and the team to potentially acquire assets. The deadline's increasing activity suggests more high-profile player transactions are likely in the coming weeks.
