Seeing the Raiders be viewed as a prime fit for Thomas is not too difficult to understand. The Raiders need another impactful wide receiver as they aim to get their season back on track. Thus, it would make sense for them to make a bold trade for a young player like Thomas.
Thomas has recorded one touchdown, nine receptions, and 105 receiving yards in six games this season for Jacksonville. This comes after he had two touchdowns, 48 receptions, and 707 receiving yards in 14 games for the Jaguars in 2025.
Yet, Thomas' 2024 rookie season is why the Raiders should consider taking a gamble on him. He showed that he could be a real star that campaign, as he posted 10 touchdowns, 87 receptions, and 1,282 receiving yards. With past numbers like these, he could be a massive pickup for the Raiders if he bounced back.
