Steelers Weigh Brian Thomas Jr. Trade Amid Jaguars’ Depth Questions

As the 2026 NFL Combine unfolds, ESPN speculation suggests the Steelers could pursue Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. if Jacksonville is willing to move him. Thomas, a former first‑round pick, has shown high upside but faced drops and a WR3 role late in 2025; he’s cheap for 2026 with a fully guaranteed ~$2.13M and would carry a 2027 fifth‑year option with a trade. A move might fetch a late second or early third, though some view a third‑plus‑mid‑round package as more likely. If not traded, Pittsburgh could still target WRs in the 2026 Draft. ESPN estimates about a 20% chance of a Thomas trade this offseason.
