The Pittsburgh Steelers are projected to trade for wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. from the Jacksonville Jaguars ahead of the 2026 NFL trade deadline. Thomas, a first-round pick in 2024, has seen a reduced role with the Jaguars this season, catching only 10 passes for 117 yards. The Steelers, currently 6-2, are looking to enhance their receiving corps, as their offense struggles with explosive plays, having only five receiving touchdowns this year. This potential acquisition could benefit both Thomas and Pittsburgh, with the Steelers aiming to strengthen their playoff chances under quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
