Chiefs aim for trade to acquire Brian Thomas Jr. before deadline

Summary

The Kansas City Chiefs are reportedly targeting Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. ahead of the NFL trade deadline on November 10. Analyst Zach Buckley predicts the Chiefs may finalize a significant trade to bring in Thomas, who had an impressive rookie season but has seen reduced usage this year, posting only 10 catches for 117 yards in 2026. However, Jaguars officials have shown reluctance to part with Thomas. If the trade does not materialize, the Chiefs could consider Indianapolis Colts receiver Josh Downs as an alternative option.
