Brian Thomas Jr. News
Wednesday, March 11, 8:21 AM
The Jacksonville Jaguars do not appear to be shopping wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. "by any means," according to John Shipley of Sports Illustrated. There is "definite interest" around the league in Thomas, according to a league source with knowledge of the situation, but some teams thought to be previously interested have moved on to other options because the Jags don't seem to be in a rush to trade Thomas. The widely held belief across league circles is that the Jaguars have an "extremely high" asking price for Thomas and "do not see any reason to budge." The Buffalo Bills entered the offseason "extremely high" on the idea of trading for Thomas, but their acquisition of DJ Moore suggests they are out on Thomas. Teams believe Jacksonville's price for Thomas is "at least one premium pick." The former LSU star might have trouble reaching the heights of his rookie season again (87-1,282-10 line) with Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington around, but a rebound from last year's 48-707-2 line is possible if he stays with the Jags heading into his third NFL season.

Tetairoa McMillan News
Sunday, March 8, 5:35 AM
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan finished as the WR15 in Half-PPR formats on his way to winning Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2025. With offensive coordinator Brad Idzik returning for his third season and set to take over play-calling duties from head coach Dave Canales, the stability is in place for him to take the next step in year two. While quarterback Bryce Young has yet to top 3,100 yards in his three-year career, McMillan was on the receiving end of nearly a third of the Panthers' 2025 passing offense, on the strength of a 26.3% target share. Following a surprise playoff appearance, Carolina holds the 19th pick in the NFL Draft, which could put them out of range to add another difference-making receiver in 2026. While the team did place the exclusive rights free agent tender on Jalen Coker, McMillan should again clear the top of the depth chart, putting him in line for his first potential WR1 finish.
