Josina Anderson reports teams have inquired about trading for Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers in the last two weeks, but the Raiders continue to tell teams no.
Since then, Anderson mentions more than three teams have expressed interest in the veteran receiver, “to no avail thus far.”
Anderson also said “it remains to be seen” when talking about the chances that Meyers re-signs with Las Vegas after the season. She says the two sides are close on value, but they have yet to agree on the structure of the deal. Anderson adds that “talks remain intermittent, but linear to some degree.”
Jeremy Fowler previously reported the Raiders were “not closed off” to the idea of trading Meyers, but they aren’t actively looking to move him. He added they would prefer to wait until after the year to make sweeping roster decisions, but a 2-4 start could lead to some re-evaluations.
Meyers requested a trade this year after contract talks between him and the team didn’t result in a new deal. There was some trade interest in him back in August but that team wanted the Raiders to pick up some of Meyers’ salary.
Meyers is set to earn $10.76 million in the final year of his deal this season. A new team would be responsible for a prorated amount of Meyers’ salary depending on how many games are left.
Meyers, 28, went undrafted in 2019 out of North Carolina State but eventually signed with the Patriots and made the 53-man roster as a rookie, plus both of the following seasons.
The Patriots tendered Meyers as a restricted free agent in 2022 at the second-round level for $4 million. As an unrestricted free agent, he signed a three-year, $33 million contract with the Raiders in 2023.
In 2025, Meyers has appeared in six games for the Raiders and caught 29 passes on 43 targets for 329 yards and no touchdowns.
