But Thomas' production was effectively cut in half last year, the Jags' first under head coach Liam Coen, and it's plummeted further this season. Currently operating as basically the fifth wideout, now that CB/WR Travis Hunter seems to be getting more heavily involved in the offense again, it sure seems like Thomas could benefit from a fresh start

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Thomas' production halved from rookie year; now fifth wideout in Jaguars.

The source notes that Thomas, a first-round pick (23rd overall in 2024) with massive rookie output (87 catches for 1,282 yards and 10 TDs), has seen his production cut in half last year under head coach Liam Coen and plummeted further this season; currently operating as basically the fifth wideout now that CB/WR Travis Hunter seems to be getting more heavily involved in the offense, Thomas could benefit from a fresh start; his contract is manageable—$1.075 million this season and $2.8 million in 2027, with the fifth-year option as a balloon payment in 2028.
