The Buffalo Bills are on a mission this offseason: find Josh Allen a top-tier receiver. With free agency looming, the buzz around Buffalo is all about potential targets, and one name that's turning heads is A.J.
Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles. However, acquiring Brown would come with a hefty price tag.
Enter Brian Thomas Jr. from the Jacksonville Jaguars. The idea here is intriguing: snag a top receiver at a bargain because his current team might be ready to move on. ESPN's Dan Graziano has hinted that the Jaguars could be considering their options with Thomas Jr.
While there’s no official word from Jacksonville about trading Thomas Jr., teams are keeping an eye on the situation. The LSU standout might have slipped down the depth chart enough to make a deal possible.
Pairing Thomas Jr. with Allen is an exciting thought for Bills fans. Sure, there’s an element of risk involved, but Thomas Jr. is still early in his career, having only played two seasons. If the Jaguars see him as expendable, Buffalo could capitalize on a reduced price, and he's still on his rookie contract.
For Buffalo's GM Brandon Beane, it might be time to pick up the phone and see what Jacksonville is thinking. The potential reward could be well worth the gamble.
