Dolphins Trade for WR Brian Thomas Jr.?
9 Oct
Summary
- Dolphins could trade a 2027 third-round pick for WR Brian Thomas Jr.
- Thomas Jr. had a strong rookie season with 87 catches for 1,282 yards.
- Miami's offense struggles with a 0-4 record and new receivers.
The Miami Dolphins are reportedly exploring options to strengthen their wide receiver room, which has seen significant turnover. With a current 0-4 record and a new quarterback, Malik Willis, under center, the team's offense has struggled. The Dolphins' top receiving options now include Malik Washington and a trio of rookies, a departure from previous seasons.
Amidst these challenges, a recent suggestion from Bleacher Report's Alex Kay proposes a trade that would send the Dolphins' 2027 third-round pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. Thomas Jr., 24, previously played at LSU and earned All-SEC honors.
Jacksonville selected Thomas Jr. in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. He delivered a remarkable rookie season, recording 87 receptions for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns, which earned him a Pro Bowl selection. However, his production saw a dip last year and through the first four games of the current season.
Given his recent performance dip, Thomas Jr. might benefit from a change of scenery. Miami's interest in adding him would provide a valuable target for Willis and potentially for future quarterbacks under center.
