"Over the past two weeks, there has been a lot of chatter regarding the Patriots' interest in making a trade ahead of next week's deadline, with most reports suggesting they have been looking into pass rushers and running backs to add to the roster. They have plenty of money to make a big-time trade, if that were of interest, and as the days go on, more intriguing names are appearing on the radar."
"Head coach Liam Cohen stated that they are not actively shopping the 23-year-old, but history has shown us time and time again that nobody is ever off limits. So, if the Patriots want to add even more firepower to their offense for Drake Maye, then Thomas is a good one to look into. And if that's a move they're willing to consider, Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox just proposed a stellar deal that would benefit both the Patriots and the Jaguars."
New England has explored trade options ahead of the deadline, focusing publicly on pass rushers and running backs while possessing ample cap space to pursue a major move. Jaguars wideout Brian Thomas Jr. has emerged as an unexpected trade target who would add receiving firepower for rookie quarterback Drake Maye. Head coach Liam Cohen said Thomas is not actively being shopped, but no player is completely off limits. Bleacher Report proposed a trade involving Patriots linebacker Marte Mapu plus a conditional second-round pick to acquire Thomas. Mapu has performed well, and the pick could be a steep cost given Thomas' drops this season despite a 87-catch, 1,282-yard rookie campaign with ten touchdowns.
