The Kansas City Chiefs have encountered a concerning development in their attempt to acquire Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. via trade, according to a report from Heavy.com on Friday.
The Jaguars' second-year receiver has been the subject of trade speculation, with Kansas City reportedly interested in adding the 23-year-old to their offense. Details of the "worrying update" were not immediately disclosed, but the news casts doubt on the likelihood of a deal being completed before the NFL trade deadline.
Thomas Jr., a first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, has emerged as a key target for the Chiefs as they look to bolster their receiving corps. The Jaguars have not publicly indicated a willingness to move the former LSU standout.
