Jags listening to trade calls for Brian Thomas

The buzz I heard on Brian Thomas (don't know if it's true?)....is that he's pretty lazy in practice, or has poor practice habits.  Again, don't know if that's true or not?  But if a guy is balling out in games, that practice stuff is just noise.  If he's not performing in games the practice stuff matters more and irks the coaches and GM.

 

It's definitely something and not good when they want to move on your in your 2nd year after taking you in the 1st. 

And....

Jags would never take that even if they were actively open to trading him which I still don’t believe. I think it’s more ‘someone called on BTJs availability and Jax said sure if you give us an arm and a leg he’s available’

Anyone still holding onto that last sliver of hope that the Jags would move BTJ can give it up now. He just became wayyyy more important to them.

 

If they were trading BTJ it is because he is a malcontent and they just want him out of there. There's no on field football reason to actually trade him in season. If you are worried about trade value because he's lazy trading him in the off-season is likely better because more teams will have roster flexibility. I have always thought this was a pipedream because I can't think he's been that much of a malcontent that they would be willing to trade him for anything less than a 1st plus other picks which is likely an offer no one will make. 

 

So I don't see this changing much either way. If they just want him out of there and are looking for value draft capital wise that's not changing. But if they aren't looking to trade him than this just only reinforces that. 

TLDR: If they were seriously considering trading him it would be because he so bad in the locker room they just want him out and this doesn't change that. But I don't think that is the case.

They are 4-3 and in a good spot for a potential WC run. Throwing in the towel because Hunter will be out a few weeks is foolish. They just need BTJ to snap out of his funk.

Another WR that needs a change of scenery: Adonai Mitchell from the Colts. Coleman for Mitchell. Trade bonehead for bonehead.

I dont think Mitchell is worth it.  Proof of concept with Thomas Jr.  The Hunter news makes Thomas untradable .

You want a bonehead WR? Go get Jermaine Burton from Cincinnati. They would probably pay a team to take him off their hands. 

[BuffaloBillies]

I would take him for sure - but just an observation of 1 here after watching 3 full Jag games this year... I have seen him multiple times alligator arm throws across the middle that he definitively could have caught. I was surprised each time the commentators didn't pick up on it. Either scared or half-hearted at times.

I mean, we have a bonehead in Coleman. I would trade the bonehead we have for a bonehead with speed, yes....lol

He wasn't going to be traded before this. The initial report was that teams were calling them about potential trades but that it was "highly unlikely" he'd be traded. How people got "omg he's available!" from that is beyond me. It's like this time of the year a name plus the word trade pops up in a blurb and that's all people see.

There's a MAJOR difference between immature bonehead and physically violent bonehead...

Physically violent ?? I haven’t heard any of that, I just did a google search and nothing seems to be coming up… what did I miss ?

There were other incidents that were said to have not gotten out. His overall attitude and loose cannon reputation is why he fell to Round 3.

Yeah no thanks at least our Bonehead has produced. I say this as one that was hoping to get BTJ or Legette or Mitchell in the draft.

Regardless, they're 4-3 so they weren't going to be sellers anyways, IMO.

Absolutely. The spelling is very different for one thing.

That's strange because "domestic assault"was the first thing that popped up when I Googled his name + physically violent.

This is about Jermaine Burton not Brian Thomas JR, unless I’m confused

Look at the posts above I was replying to. They were in reference to getting Jermaine Burton.

Big in Wichita Kansas.  I have family in Wichita and visited a few times while BTK was loose.  Wichita was freaked out and fearful 

Kansas is Chiefs country. Definitely a good fit.

There is ZERO chance he’s traded with news of the Hunter injury.

I keep seeing that phrase "zero chance," which obviously can't mean what it says. So what does it mean? That you think it's unlikely? Why not say that then? "It is REALLY unlikely he's traded." Not as dramatic? It's like my daughter saying, "I literally flew across the room." Oh, really? 

 

Maybe I should just have another Bourbon and shut up...

Would reading a 1% chance make you feel better? 0% may seem hyperbolic, but it's much closer to reality than what people dreaming wish it was.

 

Even the initial report that got everyone clamoring simply said that teams have called the Jaguars, not that they were shopping him. And that it was "highly unlikely" they'd actually move him.

 

After that report, the Jaguars GM flatly stated "BTJ will not be traded". Then Travis Hunter unfortunately got IR'ed yesterday. This new report from Diana Russini says really nothing new. Just that a lot of teams have called and that the thought from those teams is that it would require a 1st plus more for them to consider it. 

 

Even then, I'd doubt those "thoughts" were acquired to report on in the under 24 hours since Hunter was injured. Which surely changes things even more.
