"JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jakobi Meyers has worn No. 16 his entire seven-year NFL career, but he knew that wasn't going to be the case after being traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars. That number belongs to quarterback Trevor Lawrence, which is why Meyers didn't even ask. "I just understood the price tag that would've came with it, and I wasn't trying to take out another mortgage," he said. "I'm good where I'm at.""
"Meyers has gone from a 2-6 Las Vegas Raiders team to a 5-3 Jaguars team that is still alive in the playoff race at midseason, and from being the No. 2 option in the pass game behind tight end Brock Bowers to potentially being the Jaguars' top option. The Jaguars are happy because they have a player who can help them with their biggest weakness in the passing game: catching the football."
Jakobi Meyers was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars and cannot wear No. 16 because quarterback Trevor Lawrence owns that number, so Meyers selected No. 3. He moved from a 2-6 Las Vegas Raiders team to a 5-3 Jaguars team that remains in the playoff race. Meyers transitions from being the Raiders' No. 2 pass-game option behind Brock Bowers to a potential top receiving option in Jacksonville. Jaguars general manager James Gladstone emphasized Meyers' sure hands as a solution to the team's volume of drops. Meyers arrived, passed his physical, practiced, and reunited with receivers coach Edgar Bennett.
