After Monday flurry of deals, Jaguars hold on to WR Brian Thomas Jr. as trade deadline passes

The Jaguars put a wrap on a roster makeover with a quiet Tuesday, including keeping embattled receiver Brian Thomas Jr. in Jacksonville. The NFL trade deadline came and went with no moves for the Jaguars as the 4 p.m. cutoff passed. After a wild Monday that saw trades for three defensive players including tackle Jordan Davis, the Jaguars biggest move was the one that they didn’t make.
